Emily Kostoss

Full time college student working towards degree in Psychology with the hopes of becoming a School Psychologist. Dynamic and adaptable professional with extensive experience in food and customer service. Known for strong collaboration with other staff and ability to manage high-pressure situations while working long hours, ensuring timely service and guest satisfaction. Committed to training and developing new team members. Often referred to as a social butterfly.

I overcame significant personal hardship, including losing my father during my final two years of high school, while maintaining a 3.6 GPA and graduating with high honors in the top 10% of my class. My capstone on suicide prevention and awareness earned a perfect score and transformed personal loss into meaningful education and advocacy. As Vice President of Equity & Belonging for Delta Phi Epsilon, I lead inclusion initiatives and represented my chapter as the first delegate at the International Leadership Conference, where I developed leadership, professional networking, and career-readiness skills. I have also been deeply involved in community service by participating in Out of the Darkness walks, community clean-ups, and running food and toy drives throughout high school and continuing to do so at SUNY Geneseo.
