When she first stepped onto the grounds of Humboldt State University, Emily knew that this was the school for her-and she was right. The three years she has completed in Arcata have helped her to blossom into awareness about the complexities of wildlife and human relationships, the fact that there is more gray than we wish to acknowledge in the political and international world and that sometimes there is beauty in the smallest dandelion.

Emily is working towards a bachelor of science in wildlife management/conservation. While she does not know if she wants to concentrate on any particular wildlife management field yet, she has dreams of working on the Farallon Islands off the shore of San Francisco and swimming with the great white sharks in their natural environment.
