Born and raised in Southeast Idaho, Emma Iannacone is an outdoorsy, potato-loving local who wants to be more involved in her community. After graduating from Colorado State University in 2019, Emma returned home to work as a reporter for Local News 8 in Pocatello for two years. She recently took a job at Bannock County as the Public Information Officer, which has shown her how much local government impacts people’s daily lives. She’s excited to be part of the Boards and Commissions Fellowship Program because she wants to learn how to have more productive dialogue in government and political settings.
