Emily is from Atlanta, GA and attends the University of South Carolina. This will be her fourth summer at Crestridge!
What is your favorite spot in camp?
My favorite spots at camp are the Bear Trap Porch and the campfire area! I love the BTP because it’s always filled with people to talk with, laugh with, and just enjoy being around. It has such a fun, welcoming energy!! On the other hand, the campfire area is so peaceful in the mornings, making it one of my favorite places to spend my quiet time! Also, campfire nights are truly the best night of every session and it is a sweet area that is so special to me! Both places bring me so much joy in their own special ways!!!
If you had to be an expert at any one sport or hobby, what would it be and why?
I would love to be an expert at springboard diving!! I love tumbling from cheer, and diving feels like such a cool extension of that, just taking it into the air and water. It’s such an incredible sport that combines strength, control, and fearlessness, and I think it’s so fun to watch and even cooler to do!!
What is something you would rate a 10/10?
COFFEE!! I absolutely love all types of coffee, anytime of the day!!!
What are small things that make your day better?
Family/friends, coffee, quiet time, walks, and sweet treats.
If you had any exotic pet what would it be and what would you name it?
I would have a baby giraffe named angel because I love giraffes so much!!!
As the Lord is preparing your heart for this summer, what's your biggest prayer?
My biggest prayer for this summer is that every girl who comes to through the gates would truly encounter Jesus in a fresh and personal way! I pray their hearts would be open and ready for whatever He wants to do in their lives, and that they would leave feeling inspired, confident, and excited about following Him. I also pray that I would lead with humility and love, relying on Him in every moment, and that through it all, the girls would see that a life with Jesus is not only impactful, but full of so much joy!!
