Emily Whelen is a passionate actor who thrives in delving into the human psyche through performance. She is currently pursuing a B.A in theatre with a concentration in performance at James Madison University. In a professional setting, she would say it's because she believes understanding the way people operate is the key to genuine human connection, or she might say it's because of her scorpio-driven need to be intuitive and mysterious. She finds herself most often connecting to characters and works that are incredibly layered and dynamic. Whether it's Jo March or Nick Miller, she is drawn to the ways in which people are affected by and connect with those around them. She strives to emanate what it means and feels like to be truly human, frequently through sitcom-style cut away bits, often sprinkled with endearing nihilism.
