Emily was selected by her professor to dissect human cadavers in preparation for anatomy labs for the university's Biological Sciences Department. While enrolled in Advanced Human Anatomy, Emily spent extra time in the labs helping classmates and mastering her understanding of human anatomy. The skills she demonstrated in the class earned the trust of Dr. Alan Ernst allowing her the opportunity to work hands on with human cadavers.

Emily volunteers weekly at an animal shelter and her local food bank. She is committed to supporting her community and making a difference in the lives of both people and animals. Through her service she demonstrates compassion, responsibility, and a willingness to give her time to help others.

Emily grew up loving the outdoors and dedicates much of her free time to activities such as camping, hiking, and diving. She believes in encouraging others to lead a healthier lifestyle through a variety of outdoor activities, and aims to help them find what works best based on their background, interests, and goals.
