Born to an Austrian father and a French-Canadian mother, who'd been told they weren't able to have kids, came this only child. Raised in an old farming suburb outside Vancouver B.C., Emily faced personal adversities at a young age and consequently dropped out of high school. After a year spent traveling and living out of a backpack one dream remained, to act. That dream carried Emily to London, UK; where she was accepted into a full time Meisner program at independent studio The Actors' Temple. During a school showcase she was scouted by a talent agent. Now making industry strides Emily booked her breakout role in FX's critically acclaimed series Fargo (2015) based on the Coen Brothers cult classic. The rest has yet to be seen.
