career
Immediately after Emily completed her studies from the University of Carolina, she hit the road looking for a job. The music job wasn’t forthcoming, and at this time her friend, Zeke Tenhoff gave her a call asking her to visit him at Nome in Alaska. He encouraged her to start a gold dredging career, which was quite profitable.
Emily didn’t wait for any more prodding, and she began working on her new calling; gold dredging. With the help of Zeke, she started out. Emily was allocated a boat by the name ‘The Clark’ a gold digging vessel captained by Zeke. She began working as a deckhand. The reality star later moved to another vessel, ‘The Edge’, again captained by Zeke.
As the story is narrated, Emily had arrived at Nome with only, $300, which could only afford her a small rundown shack with a small bed. Her fortunes changed after some years of gold dredging. Emily now owns her own vessel, Eroica Mining, which she bought from Zeke.
