Biography
EMMA MITCHELL
TEAM MEMBER
AGE: 30
HOMETOWN: From Marlow, live in Portsmouth
JOB IN THE “REAL” WORLD: Expedition Manager for True Adventure – managing the personal development program for School teams, running their training and preparing them for the expedition.
Past adventures/sporting success: I started rowing at Marlow Rowing Club when I was 16 and have been hooked ever since. I have rowed for England at the Home International Regatta, for Cambridge in the boat race and for Marlow Rowing Club and City of Bristol Rowing Club in National and International regattas. After completing my PhD I swapped academia for adventure and went on a four month expedition leader training course in the jungles of Belize learning how to plan and manage an expedition, how to survive alone in the jungle with just a machete and completed training in wilderness medicine, rescue techniques and incident management. I have also completed the Mont Blanc Marathon, the Pembrokeshire Coast Challenge and completed the Berlin Marathon twice in two days – once on skates and once on foot.
