Hi! I’m Emily. I’m from Indianapolis, IN, where I discovered my love for the arts while sitting in the audience of a dance recital. My 4-year-old self was immediately enamored and fidgeted throughout the entire show, insisting “I need to dance now!” Thankfully, Mom got me into class soon after (thanks Mom!) and I haven’t stopped dancing since. I have extensive training in ballet, jazz, theatre dance, commercial dance, contemporary, modern, lyrical, hip hop, and tap. When I was eight, I saw Wicked and got bitten by the musical theatre bug. The rest is history! Performing is my biggest passion, and has been for as long as I can remember.

At age 18, I moved to NYC and completed three years of training at the Institute for American Musical Theatre (IAMT). While in school, I was involved in various developmental works, including a new play written by Emmy award winner Jill Twiss and pre-production of Broadway’s 2021 Company revival. Since graduating, I have worked professionally in and out of New York City. I’m currently in rehearsals for a Showcase Presentation of Brighter Than The Sun: A New Musical, which runs this November at 28th Street Theatre. In addition to being a performer, I’ve proven myself an asset as an assistant and collaborator. I serve as an associate/assistant to Lizz Picini, and have worked on pre-production with professionals like Denis Jones, Richard J. Hinds, and Nicholas Cunningham.

Offstage, you can find me spending quality time with loved ones, crafting, eating an everything bagel (toasted with scallion cream cheese), or listening to Taylor Swift. I believe laughter is the best medicine and empathy is everything. I’m excited to continue growing, creating, and sharing my passion with others.
