Emily was born into a musical family in Rome, Italy, where she grew up in a cosmopolitan community speaking English and Italian. She graduated from Chelsea College of Art and Design in 2008, her final work being an installation in wood entitled, 'If you should see Fred, say "Hello"'. Her works appeared in Berlin, Rome, Poznan (Poland) and Australia. Emily came to Birkbeck to study BSc Geology, graduating with first-class honours in 2014. Her passion for geology led her to participate in many activities that broadened her experience in geology and petrology. For example, Emily participated in field-based volcanology summer schools on Kilauea, Hawaii and in Kamchatka, Russia, and also took short courses in micro-tectonics and high-grade metamorphism at the University of Mainz, Germany. She conducted her undergraduate map and thesis on a Greek island. Her thesis title was 'Brittle-Ductile Deformation and the Onset of Partial Melting on Naxos Metamorphic Core Complex'. An avid cyclist, Emily raised money for those affected by geological processes when she cycled the circumference of Iceland alone in 2011, raising funds for survivors of the Haitian earthquake.
