Emma Winton is a freshman in her first year as a Swarm reporter. She lives with her mom, dad and little sister in San Rafael. Winton is enrolled in the Marin School of the Arts, specifically in the Creative Writing program. She has been writing since she was young and has always dreamt of being an author. In her spare time, you can find her attempting to draw, listening to music or watching Netflix with her dog Tilly. She hopes to attend NYU or Columbia, and if the big city is not for her, Oregon State University is one of her top options.
