About Emma

I am very dedicated in both sports and academics. I maintain a 5.00 GPA (4.00 UW) and am involved in many academic extracurriculars, including Co-Founding Stem Research Club and being a State Competitor for Math Team, on top of volleyball at York Community High School. I have a very strong work ethic and have a great understanding of volleyball with a very wide skill set. I am a strong and consistent defensive player who has a competitive spirit. I am looking for a college that can offer high academics and research opportunities as well as provide good balance between volleyball and coursework. I hope to study medicine post-undergrad and would love to play college volleyball beforehand.
