Emma’s career goals have strangely intersected. First, she wanted to own a café but after years working in restaurants, cafes and bars, soon realised that she didn’t want to mop ever again. Next, she enrolled in a horticulture degree with big dreams of becoming a viticulturist. She swiftly reconsidered when the mandatory ‘Tractor Maintenance’ module landed on her desk. Next stop: BA Communications at Newcastle University, a producing gig on the Breakfast Show at ABC Newcastle, a career in print journalism and finally a shift into media relations. 

These days, she gets to write about all the things she loves best, including food, wine and film, and is in the midst of writing her first novel. Wish her luck.  

When she is not tapping away at a keyboard, she is plotting and scheming about her next overseas adventure, recipes she plans to make and her next hot beverage (Lady Grey tea? Coffee from Pigeon). She is completely addicted to her black toy poodle, Dash, who is the furry embodiment of joyful abandon.
