A bit about Emma...
Emma was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at the age of 29. Making it her mission to raise awareness about the condition and continue her life as she planned, Emma set out to find a new normal and in the process found she liked her life better than before. She’s keen to shine a light on the importance of investing in our own development and happiness and believes that the word ‘stubborn’ should be rebranded to be a positive trait.
These days Emma does things she’s excited about with people she admires and finds it increasingly difficult to give herself a title which she loves and has always been a goal in her life. However, Emma is in actual fact a flourishing entrepreneur who started her own tech startup business four years ago and now helps other startups and individuals in a mentor role. She's also an Advisor for LikeMinds, who are enabling the early detection of Parkinson's disease and Lewy Body dementia.
