"Emily has joined the production team at a pressurised time, during the launch of the new YouTube channel (...) She has risen to the challenge with consistent performance and delivered videos for both the core channel and the new channel. She fitted in smoothly to the ongoing production workflow and has proposed improvements particularly in the realms of risk assessment. I look forward to seeing further contributions from her as she further develops treatments and approaches for the new channel"
