Emily is a coach and digital native who has been working with General Assembly for the last four years. Her experience in digital marketing combines with a passion for outdoor living and when not in the classroom, she can be found in the sea or up a mountain. Emily set up a fitness coaching business, Fit For That, in 2015 and developed this alongside freelance copywriting gigs before working with The North Face to establish and grow their London community of urban explorers. Off the back of this she has co-founded a mountain adventure travel business, The Wildsome, and now resides in Cornwall where she continues to support students with special educational needs.
