At the 2011 European Rowing Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, Emily raced in the Women's eight, finishing 4th.

At the first World Cup of 2011 in Munich Emily raced in the women's eight, taking a silver medal behind the Netherlands with Romania in 3rd.

In August 2010 Emily became the FISU World University Rowing Champion in the women's four, along with Monica Relph, Leonora Kennedy and Zoe Lee.  The crew were first off the start and maintained their lead to win their gold medal by four seconds over Romania. 

Emily started rowing in the Fresher's squad at Durham University, after being approached casually by a member of the University Boat Club.

Emily won her first GB vest in 2007 and a bronze medal in the four at the World U23 Championships in Strathclyde.  The following year she also won a bronze medal at the 2008 World U23 Championships in the pair.

She won a gold medal in the women's eight at the 2009 U23 Championships in Racice.  This was a strong achievement by the crew who led from the first stroke.  Although the US closed a little in the dying strokes of the race, the result was never in doubt and GB had its first ever gold in this class - the outcome of a long term strategy to build this project.   

She was a bronze medallist at the National Championships in 2006 in the U23 single scull event.  Emily is also a two-time Northumbrian Boat Race winner, in 2006 in the freshwomen eight and in 2007 in the senior women's eight.

Emily has a background in sports, having done swimming to regional standard and cross-country running to county level.   She has recently completed her studies in Economics with French at Durham University.
