Emily grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania and started playing saxophone in fourth grade. In high school, looking for a new challenge, she took up clarinet, playing in marching band, jazz band, and concert band. She chose BU instead of a conservatory to pursue interests outside of music, including French literature and anthropology. Nowadays, when she’s not playing, Emily likes yoga, playing with her cat, Rosie, and cooking, especially pastries.
