Emerson was born and raised in Sydney, Australia, which explains her love for the ocean and beaches. She has been dancing since she was three, and is on the LGHS Dance Team. She also loves travelling, cuddling with her puppy, reading non-fiction books, listening to Beyoncé, and of course, eating vegemite sandwiches.
