Education was always important to Emma, so she furthered her studies by matriculating at Polk Community College earning an Associate of Arts degree, University of South Florida earning a Bachelor of Science degree and Nova Southeastern University earning a Master of Science degree.

Emma was a staunch member of New Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church where she served faithfully as the Church Clerk, Sunday School Teacher, Women’s Intermediate Auxiliary, Vacation Bible School Director, Choir #3, and President of WIA for 8 years. She was also actively involved on the local, Progressive M&E Baptist State Convention and National Baptist Convention levels of ministry. Emma was a dedicated employee of the Polle County Public Schools for over 30 years counseling families and youth. She was currently serving as a School Counselor at Lake Alfred Polytech Academy.

She previously worked as a Youth Counselor for the Department of Juvenile Justice and the State of Florida as a Social Worker for the Department of Children and Families. She was so full of love for everyone she met; she never met a stranger and she was loved by many.
