Emily has experience with British accents from her theater work. This came in handy when she was auditioning for the role of the Armorer in The Mandalorian (2019), because she was asked to perform with that accent. After she landed the part, she combined elements of British and Mid-Atlantic accents into her performance. Her accent turned out so convincing that many believed that she was from Britain.
While at Stanton College Preparatory School she began acting in various college, amateur and professional theatre productions. She then graduated in 2001 with a BA in Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Virginia, and then studied for a MFA in Acting from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
