Something Unique about You: I have a strange addiction to Static Guard
 
What’s Your Best Quality? My height (5’ 11.5”), short people love it when I get things off the top shelf at the grocery store for them, I guess that makes me approachable too.

Worst? I talk in my sleep…a lot, like a lot, a lot.
 
What do you like most about Iowa? Sporting events and being in the Big Ten Conference, oh and tailgating, definitely tailgating!
 
Plans after Iowa: After graduation I hope to move to Boston, MA to work in sports public relations.

Emily Oyster

Emily is a junior at the University of Iowa and is studying Journalism and Pre-Law with a minor in Health Communication. She has been a part of the Her Campus University of Iowa team since it was founded in 2010 and is a member of Ed on Campus. She has grown to love magazine writing and editing and if she somehow can't land her dream job (to be Carrie Bradshaw), she wouldn't mind settling for a job in the magazine industry. If nothing else, she hopes to attend law school somewhere in the Bay Area out West, her favorite place to be. Since the age of 15, Emily spent her summers in California, doing internships and falling in love with San Francisco. Some of her other interests include her 4-month-old longhaired wiener dog Henry, blogging, celebrity gossip, sushi, Private Practice, fro-yo, being a journalism nerd, and anything involving good conversation with good people. Although she's not exactly sure of her plans for the future, she knows journalism will somehow be the driving force in her career.
