Associate of the Month

Congratulations to Iftikhar Emily!

My name is Emmalee Volk. I was born and raised in East Aurora, a small town just outside of Buffalo, New York. In 2016, I moved to Greenwood, South Carolina, where I now call home. I’m an only child, but I was fortunate to grow up surrounded by cousins, which made my childhood full of connection and fun.

I have a one-and-a-half-year-old Great Dane named Ashtro he’s my pride and joy. I enjoy all kinds of music, but I was raised on country and classic rock, which will always have a special place in my heart.

I have many passions and hobbies, but helping others especially children is something I’ve always been drawn to. I’ve been a certified CNA for eight years and have volunteered with my local fire department for about a year. I recently completed training for basic EMT and plan to take my national exam by the end of the year. My ultimate goal is to become a paramedic and travel to all 50 states.

Another passion of mine is photography. I love capturing life’s special moments and helping people see the world through a creative and meaningful lens. Traveling is also something I deeply enjoy—one of my most memorable trips was to Uganda, Africa in 2014, and I’ve also journeyed down the East Coast from New York to Louisiana.

What I appreciate most about Legacy is the supportive atmosphere. The staff is always willing to step in and help where needed, and that sense of community means a lot to me.
