Emily Whitted

I'm a newly minted adult with a resume full of random occupations like sheep farmer, librarian, knitter, teacher, writer, and student. I'm from the mountains of Virginia in a valley tucked away from civilization, and I've left the safety of those peaks for college in the city of Richmond. With each new opportunity I take a chance on, new person I meet, or new culture I experience, I am stepping away from my roots to broaden my horizons. I've packed the essentials in my knapsack: yarn, knitting needles, a sewing kit, a love of the outdoors, and an openminded curiosity for other cultures and ways of living besides on a sheep farm.
