| Emily Schaeff Send PM | My name is Emily Schaeff, and I’m your head coach for STAGE. I’m 24, born and raised here in Ohio, Dayton to be exact. I’ve been living in Columbus ever since beginning classes at Ohio State 5 years ago. I graduated in 2004 with a degree in Marketing and Communication. Before graduating I worked as a tennis and swimming instructor and taught a sports camp for children each summer.

Just a bit more about me…I come from a fairly big, close family. I have 2 younger sisters. I love gossip magazines, playing tennis, and skiing (even though I hate the cold). I inherited a loud laugh from my mom and a love of movies from my dad – my favorites include: Ghostbusters, The Godfather, and pretty much anything by the Coen brothers. |

I am a senior at The Ohio State University majoring in marketing and minoring in psychology. I’m still not certain what I want to do with my life, but hopefully I’ll figure it out soon!
I enjoy spending time with my friends, listening to music, and volunteering in the community. I’ve done a wide range of volunteer projects from tutoring at different local elementary schools, volunteering at Children’s Hospital, to being a camp counselor for children with epilepsy. I have high hopes for Invision and am thrilled to be a part of this exciting new venture. |
| Alex Leming Send PM | Hi, my name is Alex. At age four, I was obsessed with Disney’s The Little Mermaid. When I wasn’t wishing I were Ariel, I would spend countless hours under the spell of Vh-1, at a time when it showed more music videos than “celebreality”. At age 12, I directed a Christmas play starring the kids in my neighborhood. We held the play in my basement and invited all the parents to watch. Now, I’m 20 years old and excited to be a coach on team STAGE. I look forward to learning more about the visual and performing arts and working with everyone towards The Big Show at the end of the season. Also, I feel this experience will help me with my career goals. Currently, I’m studying psychology at Ohio State, and I hope to pursue a Doctor of Psychology degree after graduation. |
