Emily's early life in Utah as the youngest of six siblings played a significant role in shaping her artistic inclinations. From the tender age of three, she began dancing, and this passion for the arts only intensified as she grew older. By the time she was four, Emily had already started drawing, and her creative endeavors continued to flourish as she entered her pre-teen years, taking up singing, acting, and exploring various forms of artistic expression. At the age of 12, she discovered ballroom dancing, which would later become a significant aspect of her life.
As a talented and ambitious individual, Emily earned a spot on the Young Ambassadors, an esteemed performing group affiliated with Brigham Young University. This opportunity allowed her to travel across the United States, as well as to Brazil and Argentina, where she performed in a show titled "Broadway Rhythm." Moreover, Emily made her feature film debut in the critically acclaimed movie Napoleon Dynamite (2004),playing the role of Trisha.
Emily's academic pursuits were equally impressive. She graduated from Brigham Young University in April 2005, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in illustration. Following her graduation, Emily embarked on a decade-long career with Avalanche Software, a Disney subsidiary, where she worked as an artist manager, concept artist, and 3D model builder.
Today, Emily is married to Adam Dunn and is a devoted mother of five children.
