Emily is a full-time student at Oregon
State University, who transferred there as a junior. She is working towards a major in Apparel
Design and a minor in Theatre Arts. She
was homeschooled her entire life all the way up until college. She completed her high school education and
received her diploma from the University of Missouri’s Center for Distance and
Independent Study, from which she took her classes online from her home in
Portland, Oregon.
She has worked in costuming three years,
first Clackamas Community College's costume designer Alva Bradford in 2012 and now
under OSU’s Costume designer Barbara Mason since Fall 2015. She is an avid pursuer of her hobby of cosplay, where she creates her own
costumes and props and attends conventions around the Northwest, showcasing her
work and hosting panels.
Aside from costuming, she has over 12
years dance training in ballet, jazz, hip hop, modern, lyrical, and tap, and
has danced at recitals, competitions, and conventions, as well as taught dance
instruction at her last studio. She also
enjoys writing fiction and drawing cartoonist illustration in her spare time.
Emily has had a love for theatre ever
since enrolling at Clackamas Community College in 2012, where she had her first
experience stage managing for their production of Arms and the Man, where
she also was the light board operator for it, Brighton Beach Memoirs, and their Student Showcase. She made her acting debut in CCC’s Almost, Maine as Sandrine and Hope, and
then reappeared in Neighborhood 3:
Requisition of Doom as Madison and ZOMBIEKILLR14. She combined her acting and dancing
experience by performing in Clackamas Repertory Theater’s Carousel, her first real role in a musical. Before, she was the assistant stage manager
for CRT’s musical Kiss Me, Kate and running
crew for both it and Harvey.
Emily will appear in her first OSU
production in Fall 2016 as Nurse in Romeo
and Juliet, as well as continue to make costumes.
