My name is Emma Wilkins and I am a rising senior at Hunter College High School in New York City. I am an editor for my school newspaper, What’s What, and I am passionate about sharing undertold stories from my community in Brooklyn. I have focused my reporting on sharing the experiences of immigrants from their own perspectives, to elevate their voices at a time when they are being villainized by our nation’s leaders. I hope to continue to share undertold stories as a professional journalist in the Middle East, and I have been studying Arabic to get started on this journey. (July 2025)
