Emerald Nash

Emerald was born and raised in the hills of Southern Appalachia, where myths and legends live large. She credits her homeland and family for inspiring her love of storytelling. At the age of 18, she moved to New York to complete conservatory training in performing arts, and later went on to study literature and screenwriting at The New School. Her other interests include history, geography, mythology, folklore, dance, and film. In addition to her scholarly and artistic pursuits, Emerald is proud to serve as the Membership Director at The Explorers Club, where she works with some of the world’s most distinguished field scientists.
