Emma Letzig, Online Editor-in-Chief

Hi there! I’m Emma and I’m a senior. This is my third year on staff at Knight Media; I enjoy creating broadcast stories for Knight TV and updating our website and social media accounts. Outside of Knight Media, I am on the cross country and track and field teams. My favorite event in to run in track is the 300m hurdles.
