Emily Jacobs originally hails from San Jose, California, which is where her love of the word “dude” and the love of her own dude, Mark, began. They met when they were but wee young’ins in high school marching band and have been in love ever since. Shortly after getting married, Emily and Mark transplanted to Southern Oregon and have called the Rogue Valley home for nearly 15 years now.
Emily has played many roles over the years including gym office manager, corporate video actress, Airbnb host, and most notably as a stay at home zookeeper/chaos coordinator to her two amazing sons, Dean and Grant.
Emily enjoys connecting with others, writing, being a foodie, reading, cuddling with her cat, eating cookies, and all things cozy. She one day also hopes to utilize her golden retriever, Waffle, as a therapy dog to spread joy throughout the community. Her most favorite thing to do is travel with her dudes and explore new places together. She loves the experiences and memories they’ve built and is looking forward to many more adventures.
Emily is incredibly honored to be a part of this year’s DWTRVS cast to support Sparrow Clubs. She is committed to spreading their mission of compassion and hopes to work with them again in the future!
