Hi! I’m Emily Christensen. I grew up in Minot, ND and attended the University of Mary in Bismarck, ND where I obtained a degree in Biology. My passion for biology has always resided in my interest in aquatic species and habitats which is why I chose to pursue a fisheries focus here at Valley City State University.
I enjoy spending time out on the water kayaking, fishing, boating, and skiing. I love traveling and spending time out west hiking; however, most of my year is spent coaching soccer in the Bismarck-Mandan area.
I am interested in this Texas trip opportunity because traveling is a great way to immerse oneself in a new environment, culture and new experiences. Also, we will have the opportunity to speak with professionals in the field and get hands on experience with the species that reside in both freshwater and saltwater systems.
