Emily grew up in Gilbert, AZ where she started dancing at the age of three. She trained in ballet, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, and acro for several years before dancing competitively with Impact Dance Studio where she competed for 6 years. In high school, she also became involved in the school’s dance company, One Image, performing, volunteering, and traveling with her fellow classmates. In her three years with the company, she choreographed several dances for multiple concerts and served as president in her senior year. Emily pursued her interests in science and medicine when she started at the University of Arizona, but still made time for modern, jazz, and ballet through the university dance program. After graduation, she made the move to Boston and now works in research at Mass. General Hospital. This season is Emily's sixth season with DanceWorks Boston and second season choreographing!
