WORD ON THE STREETS

 
Emma is a total weapon to have on any Creative team.
[...]
From overseeing the entire comms strategy, to community engagement and out reach, Emma was a total professional. She always delivered on time, at a high level and in the amidst of all the COVID chaos, was level headed, always seeing work-arounds and never deviating off the team goals.
I could not recommend her more highly. The next team that engages here will be lucky indeed.
