Emma is a former Marine Officer who was part of the invasion of Iraq in 2003, she’s also a Post-Traumatic Winner.  Emma grew up in a violent house where she watched her parents physically fight, watched alcoholism impact her life, become a “mom” to her younger siblings while all before she graduated from high school.  She would be assaulted later in her life by her mom’s boyfriend and then experience the suicide of her mom.
