Get To Know Me

Hey there! I’m Emerson, and I grew up in North Carolina. I am a daughter to two loving parents, a sister to a Firefighter/EMT, and an aunt to a wonderful nephew. I have two Great Danes, Ember and Otis. As a kid, I loved doing Meals on Wheels with my grandparents. As I got older, my mom would “voluntell” me to join her in all sorts of activities, like Meals on Wheels, the Boys and Girls Club, and Backpack Pals, and I ended up really enjoying them. I studied nutrition and fell in love with the public health side of things. I also worked as a NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT). I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition, with a focus in Community Wellness, from UNCG. I am now pursuing a Master of Science in Nutrition with a concentration in Public Health at Appalachian State. This website is just a fun project for me right now. Many of the blog posts you see will be based on papers or projects I did for school, questions from parents, and topics of conversation at my job; I'm a WIC Nutritionist.
