Originally from Kansas City, Missouri, Emily became a Texan by choice when she attended Baylor University.  After graduation, Emily worked as a secondary science teacher in the Fort Worth Area, primarily teaching Biology and AP Biology.  Knowing she wanted to further her education, Emily attended law school at the University of Kansas, where, in addition to her legal studies, she organized clubs, worked as a teaching assistant, and was a member of the Moot Court Council.  Although Emily is new to Austin, she is glad to have returned to the great state of Texas and to be working in the environmental law field.
