About

My name is Emily Schultheis and I'm currently studying biology with a concentration in evolution, ecology, and conservation at Central Michigan University. I grew up in Midland Michigan and attended Midland Public Schools. Growing up, I participated in many extra curriculars including dance, soccer, and swimming. In high school, I was captain of the varsity girls swim team my senior year, and a member of the state team for three years. I also earned the All State Academic and All America Academic awards for my academic acheivements as a student athlete. After high school I attended Oakland University as an honors student for a year before transferring to Central Michigan University. Now, I'm planning to finish my undergrad with a degree in biology so that I can continue onto grad school. I have always loved being outdoors so I hope to someday use my degree to conserve and protect the natural world around us.

Goals and interests

Career goal

In the future I would like to use my degree to work in the field. Since they have such an impact on a variety of ecosystems, I'd like to do research on aquatic habitats such as wetlands and the Great Lakes. As a biologist, I hope to help with conservation efforts to keep these habitats healthy for generations to come.

Graduate school interests

I plan on attending grad school to narrow down my area of study to either marine biology or ecology.

Outside the classroom

My hobbies include reading, swimming, and creating art. Getting lost in a good book is one of my favorite ways to spend a lazy afternoon. In addition, I like to brush up on my swimming skills whenever I get the chance. I also have a passion for the arts, so I enjoy drawing, painting, and crafting in my free time!
