Involvement: Equestrian Team

“Hi! My name is Emma I started at Walker’s in sixth grade. I’m so excited to be giving tours to prospective students! While I was applying, having students give me the tours made me feel welcome and at home immediately, and I hope I can give that same feeling back.”

My favorite class is Earth Science! I love learning about how the Earth was created and my environment around me!

I’ve come way out of my shell since starting in sixth grade. I’m not afraid to be myself, and academically i’ve grown so much!

Walker’s has given me new opportunities and experiences to try and learn new things that I would’ve never had in a different setting.

While I’m on campus and I have a little free time, I enjoy walking around our campus with my friends and going on the trails!
