I’m Emma Kirkpatrick, a bubbly and driven senior from Framingham, MA, and I’m proud to be a defender for the University of Rhode Island's Division I women's soccer team. My passion for fitness fuels my ambition to inspire others, which is why I'm pursuing a degree in Kinesiology with hopes of becoming a fitness instructor or coach. My close-knit family and friends are my biggest motivators, and I love fostering teamwork and camaraderie both on and off the field. In the future, I hope to organize fitness classes and wellness events to encourage others to embrace an active lifestyle. I’m in my 4th year at URI and as I continue to balance academics and athletics, I’m excited to make a positive impact while chasing my dreams.
