EMMA FISKE-DOBELL BIO
Emma Fiske-Dobell grew up in Brooklyn, New York. A dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada, she earned her B.A. from McGill University in Montreal and later completed the UCLA Professional Program in Writing for Television. Her original pilot script Shakespeare's Sister won the David and Lynn Angell College Comedy Award from Humanitas in 2023. Emma can trace the beginning of her interest in screenwriting back to the moment her middle school Google searches shifted from "Patrick Dempsey relationship status" to "Shonda Rhimes career."
