Emily is a student who continues to grow and develop artistically and hopes to continue her development in her undergraduate program next year at East Carolina University.
 

Attending 2 separate high schools is quite demanding. A student must be organized, focused, extremely disciplined and able to manage his/her time. Emily's use of those skills have enabled her to maintain a 4.0 grade point average at Windsor High School and a 3.4 grade point average in her vocal music studies at the Governor's School for the Arts.
 

As a Mezzo Soprano Emily has performed Mahler Symphony Two during a side-by-side performance with James Madison University, The Messiah, Dido and Aneaus and The Marriage of Figaro. Furthermore, she has competed in several talent and vocal competitions receiving recognitions for her vocal abilities. 

 

Additionally, Emily exhibits the characteristics of a servant leader through her volunteer work with multiple organizations, including Sentara Obici Hospital as a Junior Volunteer, the Girl N Gowns program with All The Rage Gown Store, which is a campaign to promote positive self-esteem in high school-aged females, and through WHS's chapter of BETA, which engages in many opportunities to support the Special Olympics and other local needs each year she has been a student at Windsor High School. Emily also partnered with Isle of Wight County Public Schools this past spring when they were in need of volunteers to hand out food for families in need due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
