For many years, this has been Emma’s world. And while live TV can be exposing and demanding, it’s also an exhilarating place to train.
With over 3,000 hours of live TV under her belt, Emma is uniquely qualified in crafting engaging, entertaining and compelling stories – on the spot – with immediacy and spontaneity.
From intimate audiences to international arenas, Emma’s curiosity about people and places forms the centre of her storytelling. This approach has afforded her many opportunities, including working with singers, actors, celebrities, designers and inventors.
Emma’s presenting experience spans international broadcasts, global media corporations, roadshows, voxpops, interviews, lifestyle editorials, professional development programs and e-learning. For over seven years, Emma hosted TVSN, appearing live across Australia and New Zealand presenting on wellness, art, design and photography.
Emma is also a portrait photographer at Your Inner Light Photography, and has contributed articles for a number of publications, including The Sydney Morning Herald and Kids Health & Wellbeing Magazine.
With a background in Psychology, Emma’s always had an interest in how humans relate to each other. And now more than ever, we’re yearning for connection: with ourselves, with others and the world we live in. Storytelling is an antidote to this isolation and separation – and with every story she presents, Emma seeks to uncover the common threads of humanity that unite us.
Emma understands that good business needs good relationships, and good relationships need great communication. Powerful storytelling can inspire, educate, compel, heal… and it’s at the heart of any connection with your audience.

In the spirit of reconciliation, I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea & community. I also acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which I live & work, the Gadigal people of the Eora nation. I pay my respect to their elders past & present & extend that respect to all Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
