Born and raised in Coolville, Ohio (USA), Emeri always had a passion for living a healthy lifestyle. She was surrounded by a supportive and active family – becoming highly skilled at athletics.

It was at this point when Emeri attended her brother’s first bodybuilding show she was fascinated by how conditioned the athletes were, and what he human body was capable of achieving.

Not only after, she began lifting weights under the guidance of her brother – determined to sculpt a figure capable of competing as a bikini athlete.
