ABOUT

Hi, I’m Emily, I'm a Portland-based actor with a passion for bringing bold, honest characters to life on stage and screen. I’m currently earning my B.S. in Theatre Arts at Portland State University, where I’ve trained extensively in contemporary and classical performance, musical theatre, and devised work.

I’ve appeared in a wide range of productions—from gritty dramas to fast-paced comedies—and I’m especially drawn to projects that explore identity, challenge expectations, and create space for underrepresented voices. Whether I’m working on a Shakespeare monologue or collaborating on a new indie short, I’m all in.

Outside of performance, I’m developing my skills behind the camera and exploring screenwriting. I’m always seeking new opportunities to grow, connect, and create.
