Hi! I’m Emma! I’m a project manager currently studying for the PMP exam.
I was born and raised in Florida where Disney World was never far from home.
I’ve been a hardcore gamer ever since I got my first Nintendo DS. My favorite series is Pokémon and you’ll often find me on walks in the park catching a 5 star legendary or waiting outside my local Gamestop for a mythical code. I was the best Mario Kart 8 player at Volition and I quickly earned the nickname “Nintendite” for my encyclopedic knowledge of their games.
On my weekends, I love to go to the movie theater. I’ve logged over 100 films this year on Letterboxd and I’m sure I’ll get another 100 in before the year ends. My favorite things to see are indie animated films. If it’s distributed by GKIDS, I’m there opening night. As someone that’s taken Spanish and Japanese classes I love to see how the script is localized to reach new audiences.
I enjoy going to conventions and making connections with others. There’s nothing more exhilarating than waiting in line to meet Charles Martinet and hear him say “Thank you so much for playing my game” while he signs your copy of Super Mario Galaxy.
I always make sure to cosplay at conventions. You can spot me as Rosalina from the Super Mario series, Kairi from Kingdom Hearts, or Ariel from The Little Mermaid. One of my favorite cosplay experiences was when I was in a photo shoot as Elastigirl. A girl came up to her and asked her where the rest of the Incredibles were to which I replied, “every Super needs a break now and then,”.
