In addition to Emele working in the finance sector, she and her husband are heavily involved in their local community and church, coaching leaders and mentoring.

She believes that it is a privilege to partner with couples and families, so that we may all live God-centred and fulfilling lives that will have a positive impact now and on future generations. In her opinion, healthy marriages and families are reflected in healthy communities and a legacy for future generations, which further supports the mission of South Seas Healthcare Trust.
