Emilia Couture
Hi Transfers & Class of 2025! I can't wait to meet y'all and welcome you to this school. I know that UVA can seem like a big and intimidating place. To be quite honest, it was not my first choice of college, and I wasn't sure I was going to like it. However, I have loved many aspects of my experience so far, and I can't wait to share them with all of you. My name is Emilia (she/her), and I was born in Orlando, FL but currently live in Arlington. I love cats, plants, the arts, and coffee. When not taking class (I'm a women, gender, and sexuality studies & psychology double major), I love working at a local coffee shop, partaking in the vibrant UVA theatre community, and participating in a group called PSP (Phi Sigma Pi). I'm involved in a couple other things (mainly the Queer Student Union, Student Council, and Culture of Respect Educators) here and there as well - there's a group for basically everything on Grounds. I'd love to talk Queer culture, theatre, or just personal tea with anyone at any time! I'm here to talk about concerns and qualms with the University openly and honestly, as well as ways to find community and connection. I can't wait to meet you all this summer and to continue our connections when you get to Grounds in the Fall! In the meantime, please feel free to reach out with questions about anything and everything.
