Hi, I'm Emma Starkey, and I'm a senior. This is my second year in Crier, and I'm glad to be back! Asides from Crier, I'm president of Creative Writing Club, and Munster Theater Company (where I'm a sound technician and projections designer). In my free time, I enjoy playing JRPGs on my Xbox, or further developing my various creative writing projects.
