“I wanna see.”
five-year-old Em, upon hearing the family cat had thrown up
Little Em was fascinated by all things icky – beetles, bruises, and things that go bump in the night.
Her curiosity about challenging, visceral subject matter grew to collaborations with top regional theaters in D.C., including the Shakespeare Theater, Studio Theater, Constellation Theatre, Flying V Theater and Synetic Theater.
Now based in Brooklyn, NY, Em continues to perform and produce ferocious roles in new, contemporary and classical works.
When not acting, you can find her:
- copywriting for Fortune 100 companies (s/o support jobs)
- walking in Prospect Park
- experimenting with air fryers
see what she’s up to:
