"a bright and connecting broadcaster – a great listen"

Biography

​​

Emma was born and raised in Hampshire and moved from the South East to the Midlands to read law at University, before returning to the South East in 2019. After a brief spell in print media and radio news, she spent nearly a decade working in live television, beginning behind the camera as a producer on shopping shows, before being thrown on air when a presenter called in sick. Her immediate ease on-screen resulted in her presenting full-time and she spent several years selling jewellery on live TV. She has travelled extensively with her work, including a stint in the USA training presenters for a new channel launch and gem buying trips to the Far East. 

​

Emma joined Birmingham Hospital Radio in 2015. After just two months she was given her own show and created 'Let's Get Quizzical', a two-hour pop quiz allowing patients to compete with their ward mates, or simply relax and enjoy the music! In 2017 she won a National HBA award for the show, being described by the judges as 'a bright and connecting broadcaster, a great listen'. 

​

In 2017, Emma was talent-spotted by the BBC Academy and began presenting the Saturday Early Breakfast show on BBC Radio Leicester, before moving to the Saturday Mid-Morning show and Sunday's 'Clueless', BBC Radio Leicester's treasure-hunt show and the most listened to show on the station.  

​

Emma studied law at post-grad level and in 2010 became a qualified barrister. She's never practiced though, choosing instead to remain working in broadcast and jewellery roles. Not one to rest on her laurels, she also passed a gemmology qualification in 2016. She is married to Richard and has two cats. Emma loves nothing more than trying adrenaline-fuelled activities, walks in nature, animals and a lovely Sunday roast with family and friends.
