Emily says the most interesting thing about her is her unpredictability and is intimidated by only wasps and failure. She says: “if I were an animal I would be my mum’s dog, he has the life of Riley! Quality food, plenty of treats, three comfy beds and is certainly top dog in my parent’s house! If I were a fruit I would be a strawberry. Red is my favourite colour.”

She lives by the saying: “You win more flies with honey than vinegar!”
