Emily once had dreams of working in film, but she is unable to complete her degree and is also not able to work while she struggles with her health. She attended the BFI Film Academy as a teen and also had plans to travel after finishing her English degree, which is currently on hold. Emily said her brainstem has been damaged to the point where her body is not functioning and she suffers daily from extreme fatigue, periods of paralysis, and loss of vision. As a result, Emily now finds herself largely bed-bound, is regularly in and out of hospital and suffers from excruciating symptoms which threaten irreversible physical disability and potential death.
