Emma Stern Writer
Emma Stern just graduated from NYU Tisch this past May having studied at the New Studio on Broadway and Stonestreet Studios. Since graduating she won funding to start an online magazine called Shesources where she’s sharing the stories of women in power positions in the entertainment industry to inspire others. She’s also teaching dance lessons, reading a new book when she can, and of course, baked her own bread during quarantine like everyone else. Her favorite show she was ever a part of at Tisch was Sarah DeLappe’s The Wolves and is deeply inspired by her writing style. She started screenwriting during her time at Stonestreet Studios and and is so excited to be developing a script with the Ashes Artist’s Collective!
