Biography:
Emily is a storyteller at heart with a strong passion in advanced technology. During her undergraduate experience she focused within the realm of electronic art by means of visual design and video production. At Colorado State University she was able to combine her passions of new media and social justice through various projects. She is a strong supporter of technology being a productive way to encourage dialogue and tell stories of those not often seen or heard.
Since receiving her BFA in 2016, Emily moved to Orlando, Florida where she worked as a cast member in various roles at Walt Disney World. There, she was fully engrossed in the world of themed entertainment and knew this was the industry where she would like to grow her career.

Why Digital Media?
In themed entertainment, specifically, everything is digital media. From artificial intelligence, AR/VR, sensors, etc. It is all being integrated into immersive storytelling and environments. Technology is not slowing down anytime soon and I want to be a part of the generation that embraces digital media and creates new ways to interact with each other, find deeper meanings than just our devices, and open dialogue among communities that may not have been given the chance to be heard before. And yes, this can all be done in a theme park.
