She graduated from Powdersville High School where she was a cheerleader. Emily was a junior at Clemson University, with dreams of working for the Walt Disney Company. Her favorite things included her dogs, Tennessee and Bowman, going to the beach, Disney World trips, watching Disney movies, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings. She loved sitting with her family playing games, and sweets.
