Emily will graduate from Carleton University in 2024 with a double-major in English and Applied Linguistics, and a minor in Professional Writing. Her undergraduate thesis reflects her interdisciplinary approach to research, as she pulls from Systemic Functional Linguistics to inform her literary criticism of expat-Newfoundland fiction in the region’s post-moratorium economy.

Beyond her research, Emily has spent almost two years with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s National Cybercrime Coordination Centre, where she is now the Co-Project Lead of a proactive initiative to increase cyber-literacy in Canadian classrooms. After volunteering with low-income high school students and adult literacy learners throughout her undergraduate degree, Emily is passionate about propelling students towards their goals, particularly within the arts and humanities.
