Emily is an actress, singer, improviser, and beauty guru. She has been studying with the UCB for many years under the tutelage of Billy Merritt, Seth Morris, Christina Gausas, and Anthony Atamanuik to name only a few. Like a proud mama, she is a founding member of the soon to be infamous all-girl improv group BOMBARDO and performs in their regular Friday night show in New York. In addition to making you laugh, Emily LOVES making herself laugh.
