She has found her passion for healthcare; In college, she plans to major in nursing with ambitions of becoming a physician’s assistant. Emma describes how her passion for healthcare has been fostered through HOSA.

Emma has maintained a positive and determined mindset for the future. She believes it is important to remain true to yourself and to not change yourself for others or to fit certain standards. From her four years at Lenoir City High School, Emma has learned the importance of resilience.
