Bio

My name is Amelia King, and I am a Freshman at Villanova University School of Business. I enjoy exploring the business & technology fields and using my knowledge to teach other children. I have also been a competitive gymnast for most of my life, and in my free time, I love to write letters and connect with special needs children!
