Emily Roan

General Manager

Emily made the move to Pittsburgh in 2019 from Central Pennsylvania, where she was born and raised, but also completed her Bachelor’s degree in Recreation Management (Fitness concentration with a Business minor) at Lock Haven University.

After graduation, Emily transitioned into Campus Recreation, managing many large-scale recreation facilities at both Penn State University and the University of Pittsburgh’s main campuses. During her time at Pitt, she also earned her Master’s degree in Education with a focus in Leadership Development Studies.

Her passion for movement runs deep—she was a powerlifter in college, has been a climber on and off over the years, enjoys biking, kayaking, and hiking with her two dogs.

No matter the setting, she brings energy, knowledge, passion, and a people-first approach to everything she does.
