She is graduating in December with her Bachelors of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre. She caught the theatre bug when she was only four-years-old and since then it has been a huge part of her life. Some of her favorite roles include Beth (Little Women the Musical), Brooke Ashton/Vicki (Noises Off), Kim McAfee (Bye Bye Birdie) and Bianca (Othello). Em also loves to work behind the scenes. Her favorite technical element is Hair and Makeup, and she most recently designed the hair and makeup for Drake's 2019 production of Pippin. She was also the Wig Master for Drake's 2019 production of Little Women the Musical. Emily is originally from Huntington Woods, Michigan and she loves dogs! She started a club at Drake called Bulldog T.A.I.L.S. (Training Animals in Life Services) which teaches students how to train services dogs, as well as spread awareness about the ADA and service dog rights. She is currently in the process of training a service dog for a veteran or first responder with PTSD and mobility issues. She is also currently working toward her Dog Training Certification through the American Kennel Club. Emily would like to thank her professors, friends, family, and her dog, Oliver, for all their love and support!
