Hello! My name is Emma Schmiesing and I am a third-year at Ohio State. I am majoring in Criminology and Criminal Justice Studies, with a minor in Legal Foundations of Society. I grew up with ten other siblings, and we always played together in the backyard and on the playground! Throughout high school I focused on swimming and softball, and I was lucky enough to compete against some of my sisters! I joined the Dunn Sport and Wellness Scholars program because I loved how it combined athletics with such a strong sense of community. I’ve loved playing intramural volleyball and basketball, and I always look forward to spending time in the RPAC!
In addition to my family and sports, I also love trying new things! Whether that be new foods, new places, or new experiences, I’m always game. I enjoy going to baseball games, spending time with friends, watching Netflix, and exploring this beautiful city! I live about an hour and a half northwest of Columbus, in the small town of Minster. My mom doubles as a stay at home mom and nurse, and my dad is a supervisor in a factory. I have ten siblings! Alice (my twin), Sam, Grace, twins Mary & John, Charlie, twins Frank & Rose, Lucy, and Anne.
I’m super excited to grow as a person and student here at Ohio State, and I look forward to where this experience will take me.
