ABOUT ME

My name is Emily. I am twenty-one years old and a native of the Washington, D.C. area. I study at the University of Virginia and just returned from a semester in Copenhagen, Denmark. I am in Charlottesville this summer for summer school (since I just changed my major) with plans to graduate in December! (I'm on the 4.5 year plan.)
