Personal Statement
My name is Emma Hite. I am an undergraduate student at the University of Georgia pursuing a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture. Athens, Georgia has become a home as well as a place of inspiration through my studies. Landscape Architecture has evolved from a personal interest to a career path rooted in passion. My admiration for the field grows as my studies progress, for it is rare to find a profession so deeply rooted in both science and design.
