Born and raised in southern California, Emmie Fryling herself enjoyed attending a classical high school, converting to the Catholic Church in large part because of that formation. While in California, she received a B.S. in Mathematics from Biola University. And after relocating to Ohio, Emmie also received an M.A. in Philosophy from Franciscan University, finishing in the summer of 2024. Some of her favorite pastimes include reading and writing, taking long walks, and hosting dinner parties with friends.
