1. DESIRABLE MAG: What is your ethnic background?

EMMA: I am Canadian born, but I grew up in the USA, in Gainesville, Florida. I am half Swedish through my mother’s side of the family (they live in Sweden), and quarter French (my dad’s dad is from Paris).

2. DESIRABLE MAG: How long have you been modeling?

EMMA: I started modeling in 2009 and I haven’t stopped since! I have walked for the official LA Fashion Week Millinery Guild shows, sponsored by Nicole Miller and Robert Rodriquez. I have also modeled for dress designer Sue Wong. I have modeled for Yotam Soloman and Nikki Shadrow. I have modeled for numerous LA based designers, who have their boutiques located in downtown Los Angeles and surrounding areas. One of my favorites includes designer Tina Summers, who I just shot her bridal collection. I also had the pleasure of hosting her LA Fashion Week show last year at Agenda Lofts, that was sponsored by Wireimage. I have been featured on covers of magazines, book covers, commercial print ads like Goldman Sachs, apparel look books and photography look books, and flyers advertising various events.

3. DESIRABLE MAG: What are your future goals?

EMMA: I am interested in getting more print ads, and pursuing my acting career. I have been fortunate so far, so I cannot wait to see what the future holds! I have been a principal in national commercials that have run on cable and internet. I am also fortunate to have a speaking role on the webseries, Pink Slip, written and directed by Muriel Campbell, and executive produced by Robert F. Campbell, who also produced and wrote for Law and Order SVU. I feel with the expertise of the cast and the Campbell’s, I can really learn and go places!

4. DESIRABLE MAG: How would you best describe your personality?

EMMA: I am out-going, and I probably come off as being a push over because I am so easy-going, but that is far from true once you get to know me! I like to go to bed early. I love to learn new things and I am social.

5. DESIRABLE MAG: What is something about you that people would be surprised to know?

EMMA: That I have 2 degrees! I have a B.S. in Retail Merchandising from University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, and a Graduate Gemologist diploma from GIA.

6. DESIRABLE MAG: What are some of your guilty pleasures?

EMMA: I love to eat out!! I love fancy martinis and I love Thai food. I just love to go out to fine dining! I also love a good strong coffee…I am a Euro after all.

7. DESIRABLE MAG: What are some of your turn-ons and turnoffs?

EMMA: My turn-ons include confidence, driven, nice and reliable. My turn-offs include big messes in the kitchen, nasty people, and back-stabbers.

8. DESIRABLE MAG: What do you think is your best physical attribute?

EMMA: I Like my cheekbones!

9. DESIRABLE MAG: Who do you look up to most in the modeling industry?

EMMA: My current favorite model is Coco Rocha.
