ABOUT

Hello! I am Emery Kanda-Gleeson, but my friends and family call me “Emi”. I am a multi-sport athlete competing in swimming and sculling year-round. I also play basketball and volleyball seasonally. As an artist, I love ceramics, painting, photographing the outdoors, digital drawing, Ikebana, and creating artwork with nature. I am a Jodo-Shinshu Buddhist and I am taught lessons on letting go of my ego. Alas, it is a lesson I am still learning, so here I am!
