Emily Wilson is a fourth-year journalism student from Brantford, Ont. who always knew journalism was her calling.
An athlete for majority of her life, she was constantly surrounded by sports but never thought of it as a beat she’d like to cover. It wasn’t until Robin Van Persie’s diving header in the 2014 FIFA World Cup that she realized just how much sport can impact fans around the world.
Her favourite football (soccer) club is Real Madrid and don’t dare to try and convince her Messi is better than Ronaldo.
