Emily Soloby, MA, JD

Emily is the founder of Juno Jones®, The Stylish Safety Boot Company™, and the co-Owner of AAA School of Trucking. She is also the host of the Hazard Girls Podcast on Jacket Media/ C-Suite Radio and the founder of Hazard Girls® (Women in Nontraditional Fields) Community

Emily has been on a mission to help women from the beginning of her career. While earning her BA in Women's Studies, she worked as a domestic violence victim advocate. During law school she served as Legal Intern at the National Organization for Women in DC, which solidified her passion for advocacy work. Following law school, Emily worked as a trial attorney with Legal Aid, helping women and children in family law and domestic violence cases. She went on to receive her Master's Degree in Broadcasting.

As a lifelong boot lover, Emily not only bought a lot of boots, but spent time hand-making and learning the craft of shoe-making in Cuernavaca, Mexico and the Brooklyn Shoe Space in New York.

In 2009, she and her husband Ryan took over AAA School of Trucking, a truck and heavy equipment safety training firm, which she has helped grow into a national business. It was during her years there that she noticed the footwear problem—there wasn’t any! Determined to create safety boots that she’d actually want to wear, Emily assembled a powerhouse team of designers, consultants, and industry experts to bring Juno Jones to life.

Emily is a Task Force member of Women in Trucking, is on the Steering Committee for Empowering Women in Industry, is on the Board of Directors for the Philadelphia Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction, and is a Sustaining Member of the National Society of Professional Surveyors, among others.

Emily is also the host of the weekly Hazard Girls Podcast, helping to move the conversation forward on women’s issues in hazardous and male populated industries.
