Ami Emerson grew up in California and by all accounts, was a stellar student, athlete, and human being. She was active in sports to a degree that most would find more than exhausting - she spent 10 years in gymnastics training, she played water polo, powder-puff football, basketball, and volleyball. She ran track, and cross-country, and swam on the swimming team. She earned the Physical Education department's student of the year award her junior year and the Scholar-Athlete award her senior year. She trained in dancing and tumbling, studied Latin, swing, and ballroom dancing, among others. It's fair to say she was an over achiever.
After high school, Emerson attended Westmont College and majored in international studies. She played on the soccer team for one year and they won the National Championship that same year. She was a leader, breaking ground for activities like competitive snowboarding at her university. She was elected to the United States Collegiate Ski and Snowboard Association's board as the female athlete representative. Along with her impressive academic career, her athletic ability attracted attention from Sierra Nevada College, who offered her a snowboarding scholarship. However, a serious knee injury would forever change the course of this young woman's life.
Perhaps looking to try something totally different, Emerson entered the adult entertainment industry working as a topless dancer in California. A long time actress, having appeared in several local performances when she was younger, Emerson longed to be in front of a camera. She was 24 years old in 2008 when she made her porn debut. She started out performing in mostly lesbian content, but branched out later to do boy/girl scenes. She worked in the adult film industry from 2008-2013, leaving the biz with about 75 XXX movies under her belt. She was fortunate enough to work with some of the best production companies in the industry, such as Pulse Distributions, JM Productions, Brandon Iron Productions, Evil Angel, and many more. Additionally, Emerson has done photo shoots for Nubiles, Glamour Models Gone Bad, Little Mutt, and Almost Evil Girls.
Over the course of her career in porn, Emerson performed mainly in lesbian fare, interracial boy/girl scenes, facial scenes, and solo masturbation content. Notable films include You've Been Busted (Red Light District), Watching My Daughter Go Black 7 (Dogfart), Gangbang Her Little White Thang 5 (Hush Hush Entertainment), and American Gokkun 8 (JM Productions). Other titles include lesbian films such as Barefoot Confidential 64 (Kick Ass Pictures), Hometown Girls 1 (Hustler Video), Teach Me: Skateboard Edition (Anabolic Video), and a solo performance in I Love Big Toys 25 (New Sensations).
In 2010, Emerson managed to further her acting career by crossing over into mainstream media. She made several TV appearances in the next few years. She has appeared on 5 episodes of the TV series Badass!, 3 episodes of the TV series Happyish, and 1 episode of the TV series Vienna Crime Squad. Other mainstream credits include A Journey to Planet Sanity, Who Wants to Date a Comedian?, and the TV series Foursome.
