Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, she dreamt of being a writer from a very young age, drafting countless stories about princesses and ponies. She ended up pursuing that goal at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she completed a double major in fine art and creative writing with a minor in psychology. After graduating from college in 2013, she found herself living in Brooklyn, New York. Following several years of working in the world of sales and marketing, Emily joined the Circa team in the spring of 2016 and took on the role of creating quizzes and slideshows. In her free time in New York, Emily loves to go on hikes, visit art museums, and practice yoga. Her all-time favorite TV show is Survivor (yes, it’s still on, and it’s still amazing), and her favorite song at the moment is “Self Control” by Frank Ocean.
