Emma is passionate about exploring careers that allow her to connect with people and make a difference. She is particularly drawn to the medical field, with hopes of becoming a nurse or physician assistant.

Her dad inspires her with his relentless work ethic, determination, and the sacrifices he makes for his family. She also credits her art teacher, Coach Marsh, as a major influence in her life, particularly for encouraging her to grow her faith and strengthen her relationship with God.

After high school, Emma plans to attend college full time. She describes herself as hardworking, organized, and friendly.
