Emilie Nicholson

Emilie works across sales and operations at NewZeal and also guides on the river as part of the rafting team. Three years into the family business, she brings a calm, capable presence and a genuine love of people to every adventure.

Currently in her third year studying a Bachelor of Applied Science in Dunedin, Emilie balances student life with time on the water. When she’s not guiding or planning journeys, you’ll find her on the netball court, where teamwork and energy come naturally.
