Growing up

School

As a teen in high school, Emily wanted to be an ambassador to a foreign country. In college, she minored in Japanese and German, took 4 years of French, and spoke fluent Spanish. Emily went to the University of Michigan because she was drawn to their international studies program, and then went to law school at the University of Seville in Spain.
Career
