A Bit About Emma Yergin

Hello! My name is Emma Yergin and I am a writer. I am in T Hetzel's winter 2018 Gateway to the Writing Minor class! I am so excited to be able to share my work with you.

​

I am from South Lyon, Michigan, and while I love being at the University of Michigan along side my older brother, I also love being close to home, my three cats, and my sister. In my spare time, you are sure to find me crafting, traveling, building sandcastles, and listening to comedians. I am also an avid dancer, color guard coach, and yogi. I find true beauty in the art that the body can make. I have danced since age 2, and I am especially appreciative of the physical movement arts after my recent ACL surgery. I try to take this new vigor and apply it to the rest of my life, as well. Being passionate for things like dance truly fuels my fire for life!
