These skills are accompanied by a commanding presence and personable presentation style honed over more than 20-years of television presenting – making her a must-have MC and moderator.

Emily was appointed to an editorial role in the News Limited stable at just 20-years of age, so she learned the cut and thrust of a dynamic environment from a young age.

Emily’s transition from News Limited “cadet-to-editor” was swift and impressive – as has been the remainder of her career-to-date.

Emily’s comprehensive and insightful reporting and engaging presentation skills saw her approached by Channel Ten News where she worked until joining Nine News.

She has covered history-defining events both domestically and internationally. However the biggest story of her career is the global corona virus pandemic.

Since the emergence of the virus in Australia in March 2020, Emily has put to air more than 300 covid reports for the Nine News Network. That tally continues to grow as the crisis lingers.

Emily leads Nine’s Melbourne Covid coverage and has gained exclusive access to hospitals overwhelmed by infected patients, probed the political and public health decision makers at countless press conferences and taken a deep personal and professional interest in scientific and medical advances.
