Emma studied Film Production & Television at the University of Cape Town and has been based in and around Southern Africa for most of her life.  

Emma is currently in the Oxford Saïd MBA programme. She is looking towards ensuring that a commercial space celebrating representation and inclusivity for content creators to share their stories exists.

It is one of many mediums of communication that she has worked to tap into, opening up engagement in and interaction with the fifty-four countries of the African continent.
