Emma began her career presenting for Irelands National broadcaster producing and presenting her own slot for two and a half years. Following this, Emma was chosen from over 2,000 hopefuls to become a VJ for MTV UK. This involved being in front of a television camera five days a week. Here, she presented The Dancefloor Chart Show, Select, Weekend Edition and MTV News.

Within six months Emma landed another very high-profile television position. She was chosen to present BBC’s flagship program Live and Kicking. During this time Emma fronted major ad campaigns including Pepsi and Lee Jeans as well as gracing the front covers and pages of international magazines including Maxim, Ministry, Loaded, Heat, FHM and Company.

Over the past ten years, after making the move from Media into Business, Emma developed a unique three-step approach to business communication called Audience Focused Presenting based on her exceptional experience.

This globally recognised approach is based on the professional presentation secrets Emma learned while working as a television presenter for MTV and the BBC.

This approach was first published in The Presentation Book in September 2013 and The Communication Book in September 2014. Today, Emma is a leading international communication and learning specialist.
