My name is Emma, and I’m a freshman. I am from Kingsford, Michigan. I am majoring in multimedia journalism, and love coffee. In my free time, I love to listen to music, watch TV and sports, and workout. My favorite team is the Detroit Lions (they will win the Super Bowl!) When I graduate, I would love to work for ESPN as a field reporter.
