Born in New York City, Emme was raised in Saudi Arabia, returning to the United States as a teenager to attend Kent School in northwest Connecticut.[1]
When she was a preteen girl, her stepfather encircled her thighs with magic marker and drew on her stomach to show her how she needed to lose weight.[1]
Syracuse University awarded Emme a full athletic scholarship and she became a member of the crew team; she is also a member of the Syracuse University Orange Plus Hall of Fame, where she was inducted for her significant contribution to women's athletics and to the sport of rowing. In addition, Emme was invited to the U.S. Olympic Team trials, as well as several U.S. National Team trials.
After graduation, she spent two years in Flagstaff, Arizona where she was a reporter and morning anchor for the NBC affiliate KNAZ-TV.
