They hope to share a time capsule of life's emotional whirlwinds in order to ease the sense of loneliness in others (and herself). Emily currently freelances full time as a singer/songwriter, taking commissions on sites like Fiverr.
Emily is a 2024 Artist in Residence and has previously performed in the Keepsake House shows Found Family, House for the Holidays (2023), Metamorphosis, The Writers Room at Meadowlark, Frames of Reference, and From Story to Song (2024).
