Master of Data Science

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Emma is committed to playing a leading role in what she calls Australia’s “energy trilemma” – creating reliable, affordable and sustainable electricity. She plays an integral role in Boston Consulting Group’s Climate & Sustainability practice, recently established in Australia and New Zealand, and which has advised on emissions strategies in Australia and New Zealand. Emma graduated with a Bachelor of Finance and Economics (First Class Honours) from the University of Queensland. She received the University Medal and was the Valedictorian in the School of Economics. “I believe that the power of data analytics is currently underutilised in its ability to integrate the low-carbon energy solutions required by the grid of the future. I want to influence and enhance the environmental, economic and social outcomes of the domestic energy transition.”
