Hi, guys! My name is Emiko, but feel free to call me Emi :)
I’m from St. Louis, Missouri, and I spent most of my time growing up messing around with my three younger siblings, playing soccer and road tripping to tournaments with my dad, going on picnics at the park with my friends, and devouring fantasy and sci-fi books.
At MIT, I am an attacking midfielder on the women’s soccer team, a member of a sorority called Alpha Phi, and am majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I came to MIT having never coded or engineered anything, so I’m excited to share what it’s like to learn something from scratch at MIT.
My whip on campus is an electric scooter called the Swagger 5 (its nickname is Swagathon, pronounced like Johnathon). I have a lot of hot takes regarding food: I love a cold glass of whole milk, peanut butter is yucky, and Arbys is delish.
I’m super excited to take you all along with me to the classroom, to my soccer games, and to all the other crazy adventures MIT has to offer!
