My name is Emma and this is my second year at Gwynedd. I live in Doylestown and have the majority of my life. However, both sides of my family are from Newtown, CT and I have lived there as well.

Blu is my 6 year old black lab. My parents got her for me to help transition better during our move to Connecticut. She loves running and attention. She will interrupt hugs and always gives cuddles. She may make a few appearances barking or sleeping on her favorite chair.

I find myself to be most productive after classes and on the weekends. I like listening to scores from movies during homework and projects, but not during studying. I tend to procrastinate so I plan when I am going to work on something in advance. I prefer working alone, as I like to get things done quickly. However with the right plan and organization, I can work in a group easily.

I was a nursing major last year at Gwynedd, but recently made the switch to biology. I switched my major so I could follow my childhood dream of working in veterinary medicine. I'm not sure if I will go to vet school, but regardless my goal is to work with animals in some capacity. I've always had a love for animals growing up around them and doing my own research as a little kid. I was lucky enough to visit a wolfdog sanctuary in Canada and interact with them.

I recently started traveling internationally last summer. I went to Banff National Park in Canada with my dad. I also went to Israel on Birthright (peep at the Dead Sea background). I consider myself as a secular Jew as I do not regularly go to synagogue, but I do observe holidays. Right before the pandemic I was able to travel to Montreal with my friend during spring break. I hope when the pandemic ends is to do more international travel. My dream vacation is a camping safari in South Africa. I love learning about history and other cultures as well. In addition, I love movies and hiking. I was lucky enough to hike Masada and see the sunrise last summer on Birthright.
