A highly experienced communications and engagement specialist, her career spans the military (Royal Australian Navy) and the high arts (Opera Australia, Museum of Applied Arts & Sciences, Sydney Observatory and National Maritime Museum).
Her versatility has also been evident in her state and local government work both in Adelaide and interstate. This includes most recently managing communications and engagement for the State Planning Commission and PlanSA.
By her own admission she is a social animal – a vibrant storyteller with an infectious laugh.
She is also passionate about taking the jargon out of planning projects and helping people have their say.
Emma combines tenacity and reliability with creativity and flare. She’s a doer who loves nothing more than managing challenging projects and competing priorities – she’s even got a peacekeeping medal to prove it.
