Greetings and salutations šŸŒŗ I'm Emmy and I am majoring in Dramatic Media with a minor in Social Entrepreneurship. I fell in love with writing early in life, so Student Media became a fantastic opportunity to widen my skillset and share stories I'm passionate about! On campus, I'm involved in Theatrexpress as the team's secretary and spreading my love for the art of expression.
