I’m Emma

With 25 years in journalism, marketing and communications, I've been writing stories since Ceefax was peak tech. I'm based in Aberdeen, Scotland, and am a CIM fellow and a CPD-accredited AI trainer. I love an 80s cultural reference and my best ideas come during dog walks, wrangling jigsaws, and baking (sourdough game fast imPROVING).

"Emma's approach [to AI training] is non-techy. She shows how to get the most of AI tools without fuss and confusion. Highly recommended."
