I am a Master of Media Arts and Production student, who currently works as Marketing Director in my spare time for a pro-bono student society called BusinessOne. Since graduating with a Bachelor of Public Communications degree in 2015, I have worked in both the advertising and PR industry. With a broad spectrum of interests spanning that of technology, design and strategic planning, I am always looking for a challenge to strengthen my creative thinking, business acumen and entrepreneurial mindset. In terms of my passions, I have a love for animals and all things property investment related. In fact I’m currently infatuated with my two pet rabbits Biscuit and Pebbles, and corgi puppy Rocket with which I have even created an Instagram for.

Two interesting facts about Emily is that she can speak Spanish and has travelled to 28 countries. A self professed cat lover, Emily is besotted by her cat Pandy.
