About Me
◆ Emma Frieze Biography ◆
Photo by Cory Keller
Hello, my name is Emma Frieze, and I am a strategic communications and marketing student at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas. I am currently exploring various career paths in communications, and two areas I am particularly interested in are advertising and public relations. Outside of class, I am currently a member of The Agency, a student-run advertising agency in the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications. I also enjoy being involved in the School of Business’s Undergraduate Business Council, and I find joy in
creative writing. To prepare for my future career, I am trying to expand my skills by learning technology skills such as how to make webpages using WordPress. This is the first semester that I am taking a coding class, and I am using this page to showcase sample CSS/HTML work from JOUR 215.
◆ A Favorite Topic: My Arts Experiences ◆
In my spare time, I love engaging with the performing arts:
Before coming to college, I was a dancer for sixteen years, and I still enjoy supporting arts events.

◆ My Favorite Quote ◆
As a final introduction to who I am, here is my favorite quote:
“Yesterday is history; tomorrow is a mystery; today is a gift. That’s why they call it the present.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

I am taking seven classes this semester at the University of Kansas. As a business student, I am required to take calculus (MATH 115) and economics (ECON 143). As a journalism student, I am required to take a research class (JOUR 302) and “tech tools” such as this coding class (JOUR 215). I am also enrolled in a business leadership seminar (BUS 200), Spanish to complete the foreign language requirement (SPAN 111), and a theatre design course for my Arts Engagement Certificate (THR 215).
About My Exploratory Work
In general, I focus on subjects such as writing and marketing strategy. However, I love exploring new topics related to communications. Below is a music video sample from my journalism coursework:

About My Coding Experience
Before joining JOUR 215, I had no experience with coding. Learning about the markup languages was completely new for me. Now, I have some experience with writing HTML and CSS, and I even have some experience incorporating JavaScript that I have found on the web. Below is one of my favorite projects from this class:
◆ Slideshow: Photos I Have Taken of Places That Are Meaningful to Me ◆
Photo 1: Disney’s Boardwalk, Orlando, FL. This is a place I have visited with my family. It means something to me because it reminds me of a wonderful vacation. I was proud of this photo because I like that I was able to capture eeriness in the scene.
Photo 2: View From a Car Window, Somewhere in KS. This photo is meaningful to me because I have lived my entire life in Kansas, and I have spent a lot of time driving unfamiliar country roads. I like this photo also because it is abstract, and I like how the car window alters the image.
Photo 3: Mountains, Vail, CO. Vail, Colorado is perhaps my favorite place that I have ever been. Looking at this image of the mountains gives me indescribable peace, and I was happy that I was able to capture a good photo of one of my favorite places in the world.
Photo 4: Lincoln Memorial, Washington, D.C. This photo is meaningful to me because I have really enjoyed my visits to Washington, D.C. This image is specifically meaningful to me because I once went to a journalism conference there that solidified my interest in communications as a career.
