Personal Details

Biography

Emma's life journey began in a city park in Yangzhou, China, where she was discovered at just four days old. She was subsequently taken to the Yangzhou Welfare Institute, where she spent the early years of her life until she was adopted and relocated to Atlanta, Georgia at the tender age of two.

As she blossomed in her new family environment, Emma developed into an energetic and curious child with a passion for learning and the arts. She started taking dance classes at the age of 2 ½ and began playing the violin at 5. On the sports side, she began soccer at 4 and competitive ice-skating at 8.

Emma's fascination with the performing arts was sparked when she was just 9 years old, watching her favorite television show, iCarly. She declared her desire to try acting, and after a year of gaining experience as an extra, she signed with East Coast Talent. Since then, she has appeared in various movies and television shows, including the short films 15 Down, Like Arrows, The Memory Jar, and My Dolly.

In 2020, Emma graduated cum laude from Woodward Academy, where her favorite subjects were drama and computer science. She plans to pursue both fields at the University of Cincinnati in the fall of 2020.

In addition to her academic and artistic pursuits, Emma is an accomplished violinist and a member of the Georgia Junior Thespian chapter of the International Thespian Honors Society. In her free time, she enjoys attending science fiction and comic conventions, playing online games with her friends, and participating in community service projects with her church's youth group.
