When she’s not crisscrossing the globe on assignment, Emma is most likely hopping around her home base in Southern California. If she’s at home, you’ll find her making (and trying) new recipes, hiking, curling up with a good book or spending time with her fiancé, Nick, and her two cats, Pepper and Pocket.
