a curiosity for understanding how people learn, change, and act. Upon graduating in 2018, Emily was awarded the Excellence in Neuroscience award by the faculty for her senior thesis work. She now finds herself leveraging her knowledge of human quirkiness and knack for business as a consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton.
