Travel & Tourism turned Skating Star

Published on 21.12.2018

A Brooklands College student swapped her normal shoes for skates last Friday, taking to the ice in front of national television cameras.

Travel & Tourism student turned skating star Emily Rigden featured with some team-mates on ITV’s This Morning on Friday 14th December. Emily will be competing for her fourth British Synchronised Skating Championship title in January 2019.

Upon finishing her studies at Brooklands, Emily wishes to take-off and pursue a career in the travel industry, working as part of an airline’s cabin crew 30,000 feet above ground level.

Well done to Emily, pictured above alongside co-presenter of This Morning, Phillip Schofield.
