Much to her parent's tribulation, Emily is sure she was switched at birth. Her mother has no rhythm, doesn't care for comedy and is a math teacher. Her father can't sing, actually likes history and is a nuclear engineer. Both of them cared more about their grades than their popularity status. The differences from their "daughter" are quite obvious.

At the pre-pubescent age of ten, Emily began her singing career in the Las Vegas Children’s Choir where she sang on various television commercials and repeatedly for the Navy’s Blue Angels (not the planes themselves, but the group of pilots that flew them). That led her to performing in various musical theatre productions throughout her teen years with a regional theatre in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Incidentally, the 50-year-old owner and director of the company always cast herself as the leading lady in the productions. It was only when the director cast herself as Annie that Emily realized it was time to move on.)

Since then, Emily has gone on to perform in other musical productions in Las Vegas, Boston, Los Angeles and Nashville, receive her Bachelor of Arts in Music from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, sing with the Los Angeles Master Chorale at Carnegie Hall, learned the "biz" by working for legendary music managers Staci Slater, John Hartmann and Elliot Roberts and at IGA/Universal Records, and study improv with The Groundlings and musical improv with The Second City Los Angeles, performing at SC and with other troupes, leading her to co-found Improv Nashville. Emily’s voice has also been heard on commercials promoting various products from herbal stores and Vermont Tourism to Pepsi and children’s television.

In addition to all that and trying to sound important (see above), Emily is a freelance writer for Nashville PAW Magazine, as well as working on her own book, Just Another Memoir; Stories From A Girl Who Looks Like Someone You Know.
