Early Life and Family
Emma Hayes was born to Brian Hayes and Kris Dare on February 22, 2000 in Canton, Illinois. She has an older sister, Elizabeth, who was almost 5 at the time of her birth. When Emma was 7 years old, her parents announced their divorce. In 2008, both parents remarried. Emma currently has 4 siblings, Elizabeth, Wesley, Brooke, and Isaac. She and her families have presided in the Canton area for her entire life.

Education
Emma graduated at the top of her class from Canton High School in 2018. During her time in high school, Emma was involved in many activities such as band, choir, volleyball, and Key Club. Her favorite subjects were mathematics and music. After she finished high school, Emma enrolled at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, Illinois. While there, she studies Finance as well as Mathematics. She also makes time to stay involved around campus. She plays the piano and percussion for Marching Band and Wind Ensemble, and she sing and tours with the Orpheus Choir. Aside from expanding her musical abilities, Emma likes to stay connected with the School of Business by being an active member of the Investment Club and a philanthropy organization called ENACTUS. She expects to graduate in the Spring of 2022.

Career
After completing her two degrees, Emma intends to find a job in which she can utilize the skills she would gain from both fields. She hopes to take the first Actuarial exam before finishing college to explore the possibility of a career as an Actuary. Otherwise, she hopes to use the analytical skills she would gain from her mathematics major but still work in the business field. She believes that starting off as a Data Analyst and eventually becoming a Business Intelligence Analyst would be a suitable career, or simply to obtain a career in Finance as a financial analyst. If Emma could work in her dream job, she would work as financial planner in her own independent firm and also teach young people about the importance of financial literacy.

Fitness and Wellness
Emma currently is not physically active on a regular basis. She takes the opportunity to go on the occasional leisurely walk with friends or her mom, and she likes to play disc golf with her boyfriend TJ. Emma likes to play volleyball as an intramural sport at school when volleyball is in season, and she marches in marching band. Emma used to enjoy running and would like to get into a habit of doing that again. She also wishes that she could tone her muscles, build her upper body strength, and strengthen her core. The reason she does not do so is because she feels like she lacks the time to do so while she's at school, and she feels that she lacks the resources at home. Overall, she needs a set schedule and motivation to make her stay physically active.
