Off the field, Emma is studying for a master’s in architecture.

#HowIRise

“I’ve been rising through appreciating the time and capacity that I have to explore new hobbies. I started skateboarding back in January just to cruise around, but have recently committed to learning some tricks. I am also a manager at Honeygrow - the company has been donating food to hospitals and modifying how orders are taken/delivered."
