She has completed a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, with a double minor in Political Science and Applied Disaster and Emergency Studies at Brandon University.

Emily has participated in both the Parliamentary Internship for the Environment, as part of the Indigenous Stream and the Manitoba Legislative Internship Program. She has gained experience in political and government spaces, working with an Indigenous Member of Parliament on important topics such as advocating for the environment, women and 2SLGBTQIA+ rights, and upholding Indigenous sovereignty.
