Emma Krebs

I have not taken the traditional route to college. After graduating high school, I worked as a high fashion model in New York City for two years. I struggled with my health since I was a teenager and four years ago was diagnosed with several chronic illnesses and spent the last two years mostly living in the hospital. My first year of college I underwent several surgeries and now live with a feeding tube and port while doing school. It is a constant balance between health and schoolwork but I am very dedicated to my education.
