About Emily
Bio
I am a soprano, educator, and program designer whose work explores the future of artistic careers through performance, teaching, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Over a three-decade international career as a performer and educator across the United States, Europe, and Australia, I have developed innovative programs in arts entrepreneurship, wellness, and creative career development.
I am an Associate Professor of Music at Bucknell University, Director of the Bucknell Voice Lab, and Faculty Fellow for the Perricelli-Gegnas Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation. I am also the co-founder of em2CONNECT, a consulting practice that supports artists and arts organizations, and a Fulbright U.S. Scholar to the Netherlands.
My second commercial album, Halfway There, was released on Albany Records in June 2026. I am currently pursuing an MSc in Innovation & Entrepreneurship at HEC Paris and co-designing the Creative Enterprises M.S. at Bucknell University, expanding my work at the intersection of artistic practice, technology, and new models of creative careers.
Recent conference presentations include "More Than Performance: Crafting Purpose-Driven Musical Collaborations" at the 2026 National Association of Teachers of Singing National Conference (acceptance rate: 17%) and "Effectual Artists: Building Resilient, Creative, and Intentional Careers in Uncertain Times" at the College Music Society Think-Tank Summit.
Future engagements include residencies in London, UK; Norway; Belgium; The Hague; and Melbourne, Australia.
