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. Emele’s main passion in life is her marriage and family. 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.
