She has worked professionally around the UK, including touring Once Upon A Princess as the role of ‘Anna’ and the popular British pantomime of Cinderella as Cinderella. Emily fell in love with Shakespeare at sixteen years old when playing the role of ‘Lady Macbeth’ for a school performance and working on Shakespeare Sonnets, Monologues and Duologues throughout her training. Emily also enjoyed being an audience member at The Globe’s A Midsummer Nights Dream, The Barbican’s Richard II and The National Theatres Othello.

Since moving to Brisbane, Emily has been excited to discover the world of performing arts ‘down under’, and is eager to network, train and enrich her craft with Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble as a 2025 apprentice.
