Eagle-eyed viewers might recall her brief NCIS appearance in 2018, where she portrayed Mandy in the Family Ties episode.

Originally from Toledo, Ohio, where her parents worked as educators, she relocated to LA with her family at age nine.

Acting started as a pastime but quickly led to guest appearances on major shows including Chicago PD and Bones.


Gen V enthusiasts on Reddit have praised her as the "most relatable and funny" character, describing Emma as the "only unproblematic" cast member.

Regarding her romantic life, she dated Cobra Kai actor Tanner Buchanan in 2019.


During a 2021 appearance on the Anna Faris Is Unqualified podcast, Buchanan disclosed that he and the Gen V actress had been an item since their teenage years.

The couple had a brief split in 2015, during which he admitted: "It was my fault. I was actually kind of being an a** during that time. So she had every right to [break up with me]."

However, they eventually called it quits for good, with Buchanan popping the question to his Cobra Kai co-star, Mary Mouser.
