Courtney is 17.  She began dabbling with EMC last year and made a greater commitment this past September.  She enjoys writing opinion pieces and making people really think about what they’re reading.  She is an outstanding writer and always makes sure that she knows the facts.  While interviewing someone, she always stays professional and if necessary, compassionate.  That compassion will be necessary if she pursues one of her potential career paths, attending nursing school.  She admits she often does things the hard way when she thinks too much. She hopes to avoid writing goat-chokers.
