Emma grew up in Wyong and worked at Wyong Hospital for almost 10 years.

Emma was formerly the chief pharmacist at Wyong Hospital and a deputy director of pharmacy for the Central Coast Local Health District.

Emma stands up for her community. She was part of the successful community campaign to save Wyong Hospital from privatisation. She will fight to bring more local jobs to the Central Coast and to improve the region's roads and infrastructure.

She also continues to be a powerful advocate for public health and improvements to local schools. Emma was a specialist mental health pharmacist and is keen to draw on her background and training to help shape future mental health policy.

Emma helped her mother Barbara care for both her father and grandmother and is a strong advocate in Canberra to champion support for people caring for others.
