Emily grew up in New Hampshire and was struck with the acting bug very early on when she auditioned for Annie in a local theatre. She did not get the part, and thus began her experience with rejection and the cruelties and struggle of the acting business. She went on to study at NYU's Tisch and later landed the role of Alice, in the critically successful indie What Alice Found. Recently she formed BadGirl Productions, a company that develops and produces original work, ranging from comedic web videos to socially relevant theatre and documentaries.
