Hi, all! My name is Emma, and I’m originally from Cambridge, Massachusetts. I stuck around for college at Harvard University, where I studied neurobiology and economics and competed as a distance runner in cross country and track. I took three gap years, working in New York City and then Boston at a health care data analytics software startup. This is my first time living in the Midwest and it’s been great so far! Other than running, I’m a big fan of podcasts and audiobooks. I also love dogs, although I don’t have any (the bigger the better).
