Miss Alaska 2021, Emma Broyles, joins us again on Spectrum Sundays this week to further discuss her advocacy work. She is a junior at Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University, where she studies biomedical sciences and voice performance with a dream of becoming a dermatologist. As a sibling of an individual with an intellectual disability, and as the daughter of a special education teacher, Emma became an advocate for people with intellectual disabilities at a young age. Her involvement with Special Olympics began when she was just 7 years old, and since then, she has been a coach and a president of the largest Special Olympics school program in Alaska, and has helped develop lifelong supporters of Special Olympics.
