Hayley Emerick

“My academic experience taught me hard work, perseverance and determination while my athletic experience taught me to set my goals high and to create a plan for reaching them step-by-step. It has given me patience and the ability to plan well into the future, and I have realized that rigorous preparation, though tough, eventually pays off.”
