Emine Ulku Saritas (Stanford Group Coordinator) 

Emine joined Yore in 2003 after seeing one of their performances at Stanford, having had no previous dancing experience herself. She enjoyed learning the steps, teaching them to the new dancers, hearing the upbeat music and absorbing more information about ethnic dancing ever since. Emine received her BS degree from Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey in 2002. Currently a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at Stanford, Emine also enjoys reading, drawing and traveling.
