Emily Iverson

A hearty congratulations to Emily Iverson, the 2025 recipient of the McGowan Leadership Scholarship.

When she was younger, Emily struggled with looking different from other kids with albinism. Luckily, in the past few years she was able to connect with fellow PWAs at NOAHCon who encouraged and supported her in her journey to self-acceptance. Emily will be pursuing a degree in Radiology at North Dakota State University in the fall.
