Emily is an actor, producer and creative based in NYC. She has spent the entirety of her life with a project on deck; sewing, a sculpting endeavor, a new bake she wants to try, nail art, Halloween costumes, painting, sketching, dance choreography, needle point...the list is endless. And while there is no doubt she gets the utmost fulfillment and joy from the creation itself, most of this list is aimed at giving love to dear ones through Art.  Emily is a New Yorker through and through but she’s not not a little southern. She grew up in West Virginia in a home that only ever championed her sensibilities. Dance was her first love with a childhood spent at the studio in multiple dance companies. Country roads lead her just a bit north to WVU. She studied theater and met a cute guy named Vance on day one. She left Morgantown four years later with the aforementioned cute guy as well as a BFA in Acting and minor in dance. Moving to New York was a no brainer. Her career has mostly been on television including credits from: "FBI" (CBS), "The Good Fight" (CBS), "Law & Order SVU" (NBC), “Blue Bloods” (CBS), “How To Make It In America” (HBO) & "Chicago Med" (NBC). Emily is persistent and determined to a fault (for her own sake and for those she loves). Calling NYC home for so long, she built a community of actors and hustlers in "the biz" -- a long list of people she wanted to see succeed. Emily and her husband Vance launched Sparkshape in 2022 with a clear vision to build teams of creatives they couldn't wait to work with to tell beautiful, weird and real stories. This dream became reality in the process of getting their debut film “WRENCH” off the ground. Emily and Vance balance it all in Queens where they thoroughly enjoy each other’s company and can be seen fawning over their dog Margot at all times.
