Welcome Emma to MediaLab!

Emma is a 2nd year senior majoring in Media and Film!

“I've always had a passion for creative media, and it all started in middle school when I discovered my love for filmmaking. I started participating in film competitions and had a blast competing alongside my sister. In 2021, I launched my own photography business, and in 2022, I joined Marcom as a photographer and videographer, deepening my affection for creative media. These experiences led me to join the media lab, where I hope to gain fresh perspectives and connect with like-minded individuals who share a similar passion.”

Emma’s goal for this year is to emerge with a sense of overall accomplishment. She’s eager to engage with diverse media formats and connect with amazing individuals!
