Emma is an LA-based comedy writer originally from the Chicago suburbs.

Her true writing training was as a script coordinator, writers' assistant, and showrunner's assistant. A proud WGA captain, Emma identifies as a bisexual atheist Jew. When she's not writing hilariously flawed female leads, Emma loves backpacking, her cookbook club, and competing in crossword puzzle tournaments.
