Hey, I’m Emily. Here’s my deal.

Born in Staten Island and raised in New Jersey, I came into the world in 1995 to parents who met doing community theater. Suffice it to say, I grew up in a house where performing was very much encouraged, so much so that my first time on stage was as an infant in a long-forgotten community production of something weirdly religious. After that, I knew. Nothing. I was a baby. But once I grew up and began treading the boards at world-famous venues such as the Claypoole family Thanksgiving Variety Shows, I caught the bug.

After many years of choir concerts, school musicals, and dance classes, I flew the coop to Bard College to secure a BA in Theater and Performance. There, I discovered Bard’s premiere (and only) comedy group, BRAD, and spent all of my free time directing, performing, and writing sketch comedy, as well as traveling with our improv team.

Once I got my mitts on my aforementioned theater degree, it was off to New York to devour every improv class the UCB Training Center (RIP) had to offer and gracing The Armory’s Sketch House team “Road House” as a writer/actor.

Lately you can find me directing a new Armory House team: “Face Tape”, doing stand-up, and publishing on parody sites such as McSweeney’s, The Broadway Beat, and The Belladonna. Now all that is left to do is honor the towering legacy that my infant self began.
