Nashville born and raised, Emma loves Tennessee’s rolling hills, live music on Franklin’s historic downtown square, and fresh shrimp from Goatfeathers in Seaside.

In high school, she enjoyed her physics classes while swimming competitively after school.

At Wheaton College, the varsity swim team was her family, and she discovered the beauty of classical architecture in Global Art History.

Since studying at Notre Dame, she looks forward to STOA magazine meetings, site visits with her cohort, and classical place-making for long-lasting community identities.
