Emma Larson
Assistant Center Director
Emma Larson is a graduate of CSU Monterey Bay with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science. Since she was young, she has always enjoyed helping others and educating children, taking on summer work in high school as a Camp Counselor In Leadership Training at Camp James and working as a Teacher's Aide teaching Robotics to K-2 in college. These early experiences instilled in her a deep appreciation for the moment a young student grasps a new concept, and that same drive continues to shape how she thinks about her career today. Using her strong background in technology, she hopes to learn more now about the business side of company operations while still helping the next generation through mathematics, aiming to build a career that blends her technical skills with her passion for mentorship.
Emma enjoys playing video games, drawing, and writing in her free time, and will occasionally go bowling, a sport she has played since she was very young. Fun fact: her highest bowling score is an impressive 275, a testament to the years she's spent honing the sport. Whether she's sketching a new drawing, immersed in a video game, or working on improving her bowling form, Emma brings the same curiosity and dedication to her hobbies that she does to her professional pursuits.
