Description
Hi! I'm finishing up my last year of college at a school in Michigan. This fall, I only have a few classes and they're all online. My housing fell through, so I am taking this opportunity to explore, meet new people, and expand my skillset. I am studying environmental economics and math and am passionate about sustainability and creating an effective government for the people. I have done a lot of volunteer work in the past and am the director of a volunteer services student organization at my college. In my free time, I love being outside, finding new coffee shops, and reading. I live on Lake Michigan so I also love kayaking, paddleboarding, and hiking in the sand dunes. Being in nature and finding peace in the environment around me is what makes me happiest. I am constantly road-tripping around Michigan and finding avenues to travel, so I am eager to learn about new communities and form relationships.

Emma was delightful. She is very respectful, hard working and conscientious.
