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 in Jerusalem. After completing her MTh thesis, "Beyond the Face: a case for early Orthodox iconography" (2015), she returned to Jerusalem to finish her second Masters, focusing on the geography and history of the Bible. Imbued with a passion for the relationship between the biblical text and the geography of the Promised Land, she is pursuing a PhD exploring the prophet Jeremiah's use of geographic imagery.
