United StatesWhat I'm looking for
Hi, I'm Emmie White, a passionate advocate for inclusivity and education. My journey began in high school, where I excelled in drama, English, computer, and art classes, earning multiple academic excellence awards. I have a rich history of volunteering and working in various roles that emphasize community engagement and support for individuals with disabilities.
Throughout my career, I have taken on diverse roles, from being a camp counselor at Computing Workshop, where I designed activities for disabled students, to presenting at the PEAL Center, inspiring students with disabilities through engaging presentations. My experience as a Wild Experience Guide at the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium allows me to share my knowledge of animals while ensuring visitors have a memorable experience.
My commitment to fostering inclusive environments extends beyond my professional roles. I have actively participated in community projects through the Boy Scouts and showcased my artistic talents at the University of Pittsburgh. I am eager to continue making a positive impact in my community and support those around me.
