Emma Clark Luster, 21, is from Nashville, TN, and recently graduated from Tulane University where she majored in Architecture and Art History. Outside of the classroom, Emma Clark enjoys spending time with friends, writing and designing for the Tulane Hullabaloo, and flexing her creative muscle as a freelance artist. Her love for Moondance sparked in 2016 on the Yosemite trip and then again in Fiji in 2017—ever since then, she has “dreamed of being a Trip Leader”. She furthered her desire to work with kids by spending 3 summers as a counselor at Camp Marymount where she had been a camper for ten years before Moondance. She has a tremendous love for new experiences, adventure, and the outdoors—studying abroad in Paris last summer and completing an internship in Uganda in 2018. She is so passionate about working with teenagers and will be an incredible role model for her students during her first summer as Moondance leader!
