At age 6, her parents sent her to the Institut le Rosey in Switzerland in order to avoid the Lebanese civil war. She received her undergraduate degree from Richmond University (United Kingdom) and her master’s degree in Near and Middle Eastern Studies from the School of Oriental and African Studies (United Kingdom).

Emma's Wonderful World: Being an Exchange Student →
[…]Sometimes I do have doubts about whether or not I made the right decision, being an exchange student. Mostly because I am a year behind in school now and it’s been difficult for me to catch back up in my dancing and vocals. But then something like this happens and I see how much of an important impact my year had on my life, and then I realize that it could not have been more worth it.[…]
Here’s Emma’s post on her experience as an exchange student!

Belgium! name unromantic and unpoetic, yet name that whenever uttered has in my ear a sound, in my heart an echo, such as no other assemblage of syllables, however sweet or classic, can produce. Belgium! I repeat the word, now as I sit alone near midnight. It stirs my world of the past like a summons to resurrection; the graves unclose, the dead are raised; thoughts, feelings, memories that slept, are seen by me ascending from the clods—haloed most of them—but while I gaze on their vapoury forms, and strive to ascertain definitely their outline, the sound which wakened them dies, and they sink, each and all, like a light wreath of mist, absorbed in the mould, recalled to urns, resealed in monuments.
