Emma was born in Wellington, New Zealand and attended an international kindergarten in Tokyo. Her journey through full-time dance training and an interest in the mind-body connection eventually led her to complete a Bachelor of Biomedicine at the University of Melbourne.
Alongside her studies in Australia, she worked as an Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) therapy assistant. She later became one of the first Customer Success Officers at a growing allied health start-up. Emma relocated to Tokyo at the end of 2021 and has since worked in PR and communications, including at a bilingual creative agency, before joining TELL in 2025. At TELL, she hopes to contribute positively to the conversation and culture around mental health.
Emma enjoys spending time with loved ones, reading a good book or writing, and discovering something new.
