Emma completed her Bachelor of Ministry with Alphacrucis in 2013 and continued on to study the Masters of Theology, with a semester exchange at Jerusalem University College, located on Mount Zion in Israel. After completing her MTh thesis (2015), she returned to Jerusalem to finish her second Masters, focusing on the geography and history of the Bible.
Emma's PhD (2024) and forthcoming book, Landscapes of Memory: The Old Testament's Sensory Engagement with Nature (2026), introduce 'mnemonature' as a lens for looking at how biblical authors use the natural world to enhance memorability of the Bible. In 2024, she was the recipient of AC's Parker Biblical Studies Award.
Emma is a member of the Biblical Studies and Pentecostal Studies research clusters.
