Emma has a background in teaching and teacher training. She worked as an English language teacher and teacher trainer for 20 years in Ecuador, Thailand, Japan and Singapore. She came back to the UK with her husband and children a few years ago to be closer to family. She first joined CUF to work on some short-term projects and found that she really enjoyed organising events and helping out the different teams in CUF so joined on a permanent basis as Executive Assistant to Rob Wickham, CUF’s Chief Executive. When Emma is not at work she enjoys hanging out with friends and family and planning adventures for them to go on. She loves cooking food from around the world, travelling and is learning all about gardening.
