Emma

Emma was born and raised in Virginia and has traveled across the United States, gaining an appreciation for new places, cultures, and experiences. She is a proud prior service member of the U.S. Army and was honored as the 2020 National Volunteer of the Year for her dedication to the National Guard Child and Youth Programs. During her teen years, Emma also served on the National Guard State Teen Panel, advocating for military youth around the world. As a classically trained dancer for 19 years, Emma studied ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, and Latin dance. Her passion for working with children began at a young age, inspired by growing up with two younger sisters and three younger brothers. She finds joy in helping children learn, grow, and build confidence. 

In her free time, Emma enjoys going for walks, dancing, drawing, relaxing with her two cats, watching movies, exploring cultural events, and discovering new adventures around town.
