Emily Machado
She/They
Emily Machado received their Bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a double major in English (emphasis in Creative Writing) and Film & Media studies, alongside a minor in Professional Writing and Copy Editing.
At WOU, Emily’s position coordinates Weekend Programming, manages the Housing Department’s social media, responds to on-call emergencies, and (of course) advises RHA’s executive board!
Beyond campus, Emily is extremely involved in the film community. They were a part of several competitive programs at UCSB for screenwriting, worked on several student film sets, and still love to talk about any mode of storytelling there is.
If you want to get them talking, ask what TV show/Movie they’ve watched recently 🙂
