Emma Chapman joined CavFutures in 2023 after finishing her master's degree in finance at the McIntire School of Business. She deferred her previous plans to return to the Boston area after graduating as a double-Hoo when she became inspired by the hands-on nature of CavFutures' startup environment.

Emma started her college career at Lehigh University before transferring to the University of Virginia where she pursued both history and economics. During her time as an undergraduate at UVA, she fell in love with Virginia's sports teams, and got to experience both the Men's Basketball National Championship and the football victory over Virginia Tech in 2019. Her fourth year was cut short by the pandemic, but she returned to Virginia to complete her Master's in Finance.

Emma's role has changed since starting with CavFutures as the NIL landscape has evolved, but she has been at the organizational center of the company, implementing systems which allowed operations to scale more than tenfold. As NIL and Revenue Sharing at a university level have shifted and developed, she has adapted those systems to keep up with the ever-changing athletics landscape. Now, her role is mainly internal-facing, but her passion for setting Virginia athletes up for success remains at the center. She spends her free time with friends and family, enjoying UVA games, going to the farmer's market, traveling, and listening to R&B.
