Emily isn’t afraid to work hard for what she loves- and it shows. She won both High Gold and Platinum medals in several dance competitions, for both group and solo numbers. In addition to dance, Emily is involved in tech and robotics. She explains, “I had the honor of leading a BEST Robotics team, Trinitas Tech, to regionals within our first year of competing. We won Top-Scoring Rookie Team, Middle School Best of the BEST Award, 3rd overall in our trade show booth, and last but not least 4th overall out of 26 other robotics teams in the Shoals Area.” Emily is always looking for ways to become a better leader. She shares, “I’m involved in Youth Leadership Shoals, which is a program run by the Shoals Chamber of Commerce. There, I learn the history of the Shoals area, how to be a leader, and how to build beneficial relationships with teens who are passionate about making the world a better place.” FULL ARTICLE HERE
