Also in 2019, Ember signed onto the web-series "Cocktail Cooking" with the We Cook TV Food Network, directing and hosting her own cooking show.[2]

In 2020 Ember participated in the Miss Minnesota USA pageant, winning Miss Congeniality.[1][2][3] Throughout 2019 and 2020 she acted in several student films and art productions, like the lead role Arty in "Arty and the Heist" by EJ Carlson.[2] Another student film would include her as a role in the production of "Floor Plan" that won an award for "Best Use of Character" in the 48 Hour Film Project of MN.[11]

BOLD Magazine, a publication that focuses on women’s issues, published an interview featuring Ember in August 2020.[8][12] They awarded her with the title of BOLD Boss, as a woman "who epitomize[s] diversity, integrity, and tolerance",[13] and they asked her to host interviews, including a live interview with fashion model Erica Lauren, known professionally for her modeling campaigns with brands such as Lane Bryant, Torrid, Foot Locker, and Walmart. Ember has been represented as BOLD Gold by the BOLD Magazine twice in 2020 and is featured in their Body Empowerment 18 month BOLD Boss Calendar of 2021. 2020 was also the year several clothing companies such as Vislily, Dolnine, Rissross, Auselily, Gloria & Sarah, AW Bridal, and Ritera represented Ember as a model for their clothing lines on Amazon.[2] In 2021, KSTP-TVs Twin Cities Live hosted a 'Fall Fashion Must Haves' segment in which Ember modeled Torrid and Aldo products.[14]

In 2021, Ember played an extra in the production film "The Ballad of Travis Hunter".[2][3] Later in 2021, Ember won the first Miss Voluptuous Minnesota title in the Miss Voluptuous Pageants that originated in England, and she will go on to compete for the International crown and title in Nashville, TN in April 2022.[2][10][15] Ember has represented her title of Miss Voluptuous Minnesota in several local parades including St. Anthony Villagefest,[16] Little Canadian Days,[17] Burnsville Fire Muster Parade,[18] Chaska River City Days, Woodbury Days Grande Parade.[2][10][19] "To help make a statement, she decided to ride her motorcycle in parades."[10]

The Global United Pageants awarded Ember with the crowned title Grand Ms. Global United Queen 2022 - 2023 and was the second pageant where she received a talent award for a welded crown she handmade.[20] August 2022 aired the Minnesota Lottery Vikings scratch-off commercial where Ember played the role of a cashier.[21]
