At WCAAD life drawing classes, Emily has been able to capture a sense of movement and intimacy in her works, inspiring others to follow through her example.

In addition, she is motivating students through her work ethic and enthusiasm. Her creative and passion for art, has propelled her to be as active in class and engage outside the classroom. 

Further, she is able to balance her time through service and volunteering such as; beach cleaning held by Green Club, interacting with families and kids sacrificing her time to help out in carnival booths hosted by Carver elementary for the last two years, and, staying long hours helping with clean up. Emily gave her time freely serving customers in the school concession stand during football games. She helped set up events and clean-up efforts as well as receptionist for Philip Chen in his campaign running for the 55th district serving L.A., Orange County, and San Bernardino and learned about Asian Culture while reflecting how this knowledge could reflect in her artwork submitted in her portfolio.
