My name is Emma Patsilevas, Class of 2023 at North Hills High School in Pittsburgh, PA. I'm proud to be a two sport athlete, representing my High School both on the lacrosse field and volleyball court. As a Freshman, I was selected to play Attack on the North Hills Varsity Girls Lacrosse team. I am also a two-year starter on the North Hills Girls Varsity Volleyball team playing both Setter and Right Side Hitter. I enjoy representing my school and community and consider it an honor in wearing a North Hills jersey.

As a new member of the Pittsburgh Premier Lacrosse Club 2023 team, I'm looking forward to improving my speed and strength while sharpening my skills and building new relationships with my coaches and teammates. I consider myself very coachable and enjoy learning more from my skilled coaches while competing against elite talent and a competitive level of play.

Academically, I demonstrate maturity, integrity and hard work as I challenge myself with advanced coursework. I hope to pursue a degree in the medical field as I really enjoy my science classes. I'm proud to participate in the Will Allen Foundation QUEST program as a student representative and also belong to the French Club and Hands for Service club at my high school. Being a student-athlete allows me to practice time management and organizational skills while also reinforcing the character needed to be a good role model for younger athletes.
