Emmy has been a Writer and Editor for Memebase since June of 2022, but her fascination with memes and online culture has lasted all her life. Since she was 12 years old, she's been scrounging Twitter for the latest discourse and scoping out super-specific memes to send to her friends and loved ones. She spent 8 hours a day on Tumblr in 2012, and that training has gotten her to where she is today. Prior to working at Cheezburger, she's been published in TV Insider and The Broadway Beat. Prior non-writing job titles include Library Security Guard, Dog Bakery Employee, and High School Dragon Mascot. The meme industry has been the one that stuck. Emmy earned her degree in English from The Ohio State University, where she was the President of the school's historic humor magazine and not-yet historic sketch comedy troupe.
