Emily Coston has always had a deep appreciation for language, especially the satisfying moment when the right words fall into exactly the right place. Originally from the delightfully sunny city of Clearwater, Florida, Emily graduated from Florida State University with a double major in French and editing, writing, and media, an academic path that made plenty of room for both creativity and precision.
Emily first discovered her love of technical writing while serving as the communications team lead for a social-innovation nonprofit, where she developed communication channel strategies and created a wide range of media materials. From there, she explored the entertainment space as a media assistant at Blondie Comics, gaining experience with different kinds of content and audiences. Across each role, one thing has remained consistent: Emily loves the craft of making information clear, intentional, and thoughtfully composed.
Now as a Junior Contracts Specialist at Cloudforce, Emily is excited to bring that same care for language into the world of contract composition. For her, communications is not just about writing, but about finding the most precise way to communicate meaning, a skill that translates naturally to contracts, where clarity and detail matter.
Outside of work, Emily’s love of language shows up in word games, language study, editing, songwriting, poetry, and even daydreams about grammar. Her curiosity reaches well beyond words, too, from tropical plants and music-making to kayaking, hiking, cool birds, ghost stories, Survivor, Jeopardy, and a good card game.
Other fun facts about Emily:
If you had a time machine, would you go back or into the future? And why?
- I’d go back about 200 million years ago to the Jurassic period, because I wish so badly that I could see dinosaurs in person, and because I want to experience what the earth was like before humans existed. I would love to just hide in a bush and watch the dinosaurs interact, provided a return trip back to the present day is guaranteed.
If you could instantly master any skill, what would it be?
- I’d trade in my amateur guitar skills for guitar mastery.
What’s a fun fact about you that most people don’t know?
- I was a photo double and stand-in for one of the main characters in the movie Dolphin Tale 2. I was also a background extra for a few scenes.
If you were a superhero, what would your power be?
- The ability to speak any language I encounter in real time.
What’s a small thing that always makes your day better?
- Finding any new leaves or growth on my plants, especially on the tiny seedlings or saplings.
