Hi, my name is Emma! I was active duty in the Navy for four years and now serve in the Navy Reserves. I have my associate degree in English from Stark State College. I am now working towards a bachelor’s degree in English with a concentration in technical writing and a minor in philosophy. My goal is to continue my education upon completion of my bachelor degree, but I am unsure what I would like to pursue.

I am from Akron, Ohio and joined the military right out of high school. I was stationed here in Norfolk on the USS Abraham Lincoln, an aircraft carrier. I enjoyed my time being active duty, but wanted to pursue my education. I stayed in the reserves in order to keep working at my military career as well as pursue my college degrees. I also currently work part time at an Elementary School in Newport News as a Reading Tutor for 2nd, 3rd, and 5th graders.
