Emily is a performer, educator, and writer based in NYC. After reading an article about journalist Nellie Bly, she was captivated by Bly’s grit, passion, and fearless spirit. She knew immediately that Nellie’s story needed to hit the stage—and BLY was born.

 

Emily earned her BFA in Musical Theater from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) and is also an alumna of Walnut Hill School for the Arts in Natick, MA. A proud member of Actors’ Equity Association, Emily is passionate about telling stories that truly matter—and this one certainly does.
