Emily Zarecki is a seasoned communications and public relations professional. Her 25-year career spans global Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 companies, nonprofit, and agency settings.
Completing treatment for breast cancer not only gave Emily a new perspective on life but the experience ignited a flame to do more writing and storytelling. After parting ways with a marketing agency in 2021, she founded Clarion Communications and is its lead consultant and chief storyteller.
Passionate about a few causes close to her heart – mental health, suicide prevention, and breast cancer awareness – Emily has served on the board for Unison Health in Toledo and led fundraising efforts for the National Association of Mental Illness (NAMI) Toledo in memory of her husband, Steve. Emily is enthusiastic about advocating for research and education about breast cancer and eliminating disparities in access to diagnostics and treatment. She serves as an advocacy ambassador for Susan G. Komen.
Emily lives in Sylvania, Ohio with her husband, Mark, and three children.
Traumas and other challenging life experiences leave scars that forever change us. They become part of us.
They are important chapters of your story.
“You’re not a victim for sharing your story. You are a survivor setting the world on fire with your truth. And you never know who needs your light, your warmth, and raging courage.”
