Emma Hardy

Video Producer

Lights! Emma! Action! Emma was practically born with a video camera in her hand. When she was younger, she would film her own Hollywood remakes starring her favorite stuffed animal actors and anchor her own prime time news shows in her living room. When the time arrived, she joined her high school broadcasting class and learned everything she could about proper video production. From then on, it was clear that this was what she was meant to do. Off camera, Emma loves to get outside and experience nature. She has a love for dogs although, tragically, has never actually owned one. Instead, she dreams of someday frolicking outdoors with a dog of her very own.

Emma has worked as a freelance videographer for five years, filming anything from weddings to car commercials. Currently, she is the marketing assistant and videographer for Columbia Strength and Conditioning. During her semester abroad in New Zealand, she was an ambassador for New Zealand Education, where she would produce content and answer questions to prospective students through Instagram. She has also spent time as a correspondent for the State Journal-Register in Springfield, Illinois.
