Emma is a 4th year student studying Linguistics with a Speech Language Sciences and Disorders emphasis and Chinese double major, as well as an Applied Psychology minor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she'll graduate in 2026. Outside of her academic pursuits, Emma is a creative spirit who loves dancing, gardening, videography, and photography.
