She completed her Bachelor of Environmental Science Honours degree and a Master of Environment degree at the Univerisity of Manitoba, and has earned her Associate Wildlife Biologist Certification through The Wildlife Society. Emily has grown as a musician by taking part in the Emerging Artist Showcase and Mentorship Program hosted by the Manitoba Arts Network, as well as the Emerging Artist Program hosted by the Canadian Musicians Co-operative. She has performed at the Assiniboine Park Zoo, The Forks, Oak Hammock Marsh, the West End Cultural Centre and the Canadian Urban Forest Conference to name a few.

An education in environmental science has led this musician to open up and speak out on important issues and creatively unravel her knowledge into the world of music.
