Emma Marshall
Arts Editor
“Hey! My name is Emma Marshall, but I usually just go by Em. I am the current Arts Editor for The Reflector. I’m in my third year of journalism, and my favourite types of stories are about arts, music, and events. I am from Northern England, and my childhood was filled with constant movement and travel. Growing up, home was not one set place. Instead, I found a home in writing – whether that be letters, poetry, or stories. My soul finds solace in the dance of words, and I look forward to unifying my love of arts and writing this year. When I’m not writing, you can probably find me trying out new restaurants, seeing friends and family, or planning my next travel experience.”
