Originally from Los Osos, California, she holds a B.A in Visual Public Art, minoring in Psychology from California State University Monterey Bay, and earned her Master of Science in Higher Education Counseling and Student Affairs from Cal Poly in 2022.
Emma first discovered her passion for service-learning and community engagement as an undergraduate while volunteering in the neighborhoods of Seaside, Marina, and Salinas. After graduation, she spent over a decade bartending and traveling the world, immersing herself in different cultures and experiences that deepened her appreciation for diverse communities and love of human connection.
Inspired to channel those experiences into work that creates positive change, Emma returned to her hometown on the Central Coast to pursue her master's degree and continue her commitment to community engagement. Her favorite parts of the job include coordinating and leading student volunteer groups both domestically and abroad through the CSA's Alternative Breaks program and finding fulfillment in helping students grow through service while giving back to the community that raised her.
