Emma Fraley is a rising 2L student at Boston University School of Law and a recent graduate of Boston University School of Public Health, where she studied health law and policy. She graduated Honors with Distinction from Baylor University as a Science Research Fellow with a minor in philosophy. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Fraley developed an interest in health policy and a concern for medically underserved populations. Fraley deepened her policy interests by advocating for gender and sexual minority students at Baylor University, supporting the creation of an LGBTQ+ student group. Her undergraduate honors thesis, Containing COVID-19: A Case Study on the Oregonian and Texan Government Responses to the Coronavirus Pandemic, was the product of her budding passion for health policy and was awarded Baylor University’s highest designation for undergraduate theses. Fraley aims to build a career in health insurance regulatory policy to improve access to care, manage costs, and uphold high healthcare quality. As a 2025 Rappaport Fellow, Fraley will spend her summer interning at the Division of Insurance.
