Emily was literally a regular high school student one day, and a model the next. Born on February 24, 1991, in upstate New York, a family friend had urged Emily to pursue modeling. And when she did, the brunette beauty signed with Request Model Management in 2008 and immediately was chosen to front the Guess Spring 2009 campaign!

Within months of beginning her career, she began appearing on the pages of editorials for Italian Vanity Fair, Numéro Tokyo, and Glamour, in campaigns for Kensie and Polo Rugby, she posed for Victoria's Secret, and even landed her first cover thanks to The Block. To add to her meteorical rise, she signed with Maybelline, joining the likes of Julia Stegner, Christy Turlington, and Erin Wasson to face the beauty brand.

And Emily's talents are anything but limited. Cosmetics campaigns and editorials aside, the fashion shows in Paris saw Emily on the runway for Rag & Bone and as an exclusive for Givenchy, cementing her power as a runway stunner.

Though such levels of success for a newcomer could prove overstimulating, Emily has kept herself grounded and it seems she excels at multitasking. While balancing her hectic modeling schedule, she made sure to get her high school diploma and even moved into her first New York City apartment.
