Emma played Erin Kingston on Shortland Street between 2000-2001.  
She was voted one of the most popular characters and was rated 3rd in
polls -- Quite an accomplishment for only being on a show a year and
only known to New Zealand viewers at the time.

Erin was kicked out of boarding school and
met her father, who didn't know who she
was at first.  

She eventually got a job at a coffee shop.
