Media executive and former TV presenter, Emma Rossi will be Cobar’s Australia Day ambassador next month.
Ms Rossi spent nearly two decades reporting for news and current affairs on national television, a job that took her overseas as a foreign correspondent, across Australia as a reporter, and into lounge rooms across the world as a news presenter.
She spent nearly 12 years working in media and communications for the ACCC, the competition and consumer regulator and for the telecommunications and media regulator.
Ms Rossi was also the public face for Children’s e-safety and security.
She is well regarded for her philanthropic pursuits mentoring and developing people.
Ms Rossi has taken a national leadership role in improving the online safety for Australian women fleeing domestic violence.
She was instrumental in the establishment of Mary’s House, a refuge in Sydney’s lower north shore for women and children.
She was also a founding board director of Active Farmers, a group fitness organisation that has had a profound positive impact on physical, community and mental health outcomes in rural Australia.
Ms Rossi has been an Australia Day Ambassador for NSW Premier and Cabinet since 2013.
A businesswoman with a Masters in Management degree, she is also an author and a popular keynote speaker.
Listed among her proud achievements is cycling with her daughter across Cambodia to buy women and girls out of sex slavery.
She’s the ninth of 10 children in her family and said she “has let down the side” with only four children of her own.
