Meet Emma Schmudlach! She majored in speech and hearing science with a certificate in disability studies. She has been involved in research since her sophomore year at Iowa State University, and once she transferred to Iowa, she knew that she wanted to continue being involved! Research interests her because of the positive change that it can lead to and how much it can impact people's lives. Outside of research she is also a member of the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association and volunteers weekly at the Iowa City Senior Center. In her free time, she enjoy reading, exercising, and spending time with friends and family.
