It has been my distinct pleasure to work with Emily at Avalanche Software as part of Disney Interactive Studios. In fact, Emily's boundless enthusiasm and ability to use her amazingly diverse talents have added tremendous value to all projects which she is assigned. Emily shows wonderful capability in Production, Art, and Design as well as excellent interpersonal skills with the rest of the team. Adding to talents perfectly suited for the Game Industry, Emily's acting, dancing and choreography skills only further build on her robust resume. I cannot more heartily recommend Emily as an individual of quality and hope to work with her again on future projects.
Colby Acree
Sr. Games Producer - Outsourcing Department Head at WB Games, Avalanche
I had the great pleasure to work with Emily at Disney Interactive's, Avalanche Studio on various projects where she was focused on External Development, Art and Animation support for the internal teams during production.
Emily is a genuinely kind and welcoming person that always came to work, meetings or calls with a smile, bright positive attitude and ready to dive in. In addition, Emily is an extremely focused, goal driven individual with an impressive list of valuable skills and talents. Some of Emily’s skills and talents include, Artist, Producer, Actress, Singer, Dancer and more.
At Disney Interactive, Emily helped set standards and specs for our external art teams working in collaboration with the Lead Artists and Art Directors at Avalanche. She also worked directly with external art teams and did an amazing job of helping them to be a part of our team and project, leading to successful engagements. Emily was not only responsible to sending our teams new tasks, tracking and feedback but also working to coordinate around important deliverable's, milestones and unforeseen changes to the project.
I highly recommend Emily for various positions both in and outside of the games industry.

CFO/COO at Optima Sports Group
I had the privilege of working with, and then supervising Emily, while working with her at Disney/Avalanche. Emily was a strong performer in everything she did, but made a tremendous impact when we set out to create an outsourcing group from scratch, for our studio. Starting from nothing, Emily worked to source and evaluate vendors, establish policies and procedures for working with external groups, and then worked to insure that our internal teams were providing the proper source design to allow the external teams to execute while managing the quality and fitness for use of the deliverables supplied from our external vendors.
This was no small feat. Imagine getting a group like Disney to approve sending artwork for a movie that hasn't been released in theaters, to countries where their cyber-security standards may be nearly non-existent. The challenges and red-tape were never-ending.
Emily is a joy to work with and has a very warm and caring personality, and brings out the best in those she interacts with. She is dedicated, passionate and conscientious in all the she does. Emily is confident but not arrogant. I found her to be fearless when it came accepting new challenges and she had very good instincts when it came to problem solving. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emily for any position she thought she could handle, and I would expect her to excel.
