Demi Fine

Emtza Intern

Demi is currently a sophomore at the University of Kansas, where she is majoring in Unified Elementary Education and minoring in Dance. While in USY, she stayed active at the chapter, region, and international levels. In her chapter, BAUSY, she served as the Kadima Vice President and enjoyed working with the Atid Amoona/Kadima USYers. Regionally, She served on the Freshman Leadership Committee, Membership RGB, Regional Mem/Kad VP, and Regional Executive VP. She served on the International General Board as one of the Alumni Outreach and Engagement Committee members for two years as well. Each of these committees and positions helped her find a love for leadership and is a large part of why she is the EMTZA intern today. In college, she has become very involved in Hillel, where she is a campus ambassador and one of our social media coordinators. She is also the treasurer and advocacy chair for the Challah for Hunger chapter at KU. Besides that, she is an active member of her sorority, Kappa Delta. She could not be more excited to be taking on this role for EMTZA. Her high school experience would not have been what it was without USY, and she is so looking forward to learning and growing with the best region ever!!
