Today we’re shining a light on Emma Papariella, our BLOOM Coordinator and Club Assistant for Woodlands Theatrics, Music Ensemble II, and Fun & Friends! 🌟

Emma first heard about The Woodlands through a college professor who had worked here and shared how meaningful this place is. Four years later, Emma has become an essential part of our community — leading our BLOOM transition programs and supporting participants in clubs with care, encouragement, and a whole lot of fun.

When asked about the most rewarding part of her job, Emma shared: “I love seeing the joy our programs bring to our participants and watching them grow. The joy they bring me watching them succeed is the most rewarding part of this job! The bonds I have created with participants and staff are like no other. This place is something truly special.” 💙

Emma, thank you for the heart, dedication, and positivity you bring to The Woodlands every day. We’re so grateful you’re part of this community where everyone belongs.
