Hi,

I’m Emily, a junior here at St. Kate’s. I am working towards a Major in Studio Art, where I’ll double specialize in graphic design and photography. I am also double Minoring in Marketing and Integrated marketing communications and design. I currently work for Career Development and Money Management and enjoy meeting students for appointments! We have many events during the semester, so follow both on social media!

I enjoy puzzles, movie theaters, show series, and reading webtoons on Tapas. In summer, I find myself swimming and biking. Meanwhile, I see myself watching series indoors or sledding in the fall and winter. I’m crafty, so I like learning new things like crouching, weaving, and more.
