Detail-obsessed, endlessly organized, and creative—with a sharp sense of humor. Emily writes, directs, acts, and produces across film, TV, and digital media.
I am a Television Production graduate from California State University, Northridge (BA in Television Production, Minor in Business Management), where I also served as Communications Vice President for Alpha Xi Delta—leading PR strategy and brand presence. My passion for visual storytelling began in high school within a Digital Media Communications program, where I first learned to write, film, edit, and collaborate on short film projects.
Over the years, I’ve built a versatile background spanning physical production, post-production, performance, and digital media. My creative credits include writing, directing, and producing short films like Between the Lines and Drop Dead, alongside formal scene study and technique training at the Beverly Hills Playhouse. My experience also includes operational roles with the Mill Valley Film Festival and the Community Media Center of Marin, early internships at Webber Studios and Lunar Door, and freelance production work with companies like Crazy Legs Productions and FloSports.
Currently, I work in Production at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), helping bring world-class television series, feature films, and immersive experiences to life. Whether guiding a vision behind the camera as a director and producer, or bringing characters to life on screen as an actor, I am driven by projects that combine bold creative storytelling with meaningful collaboration.
