Our Team

EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT/CONTENT DEVELOPER

Emily Knox

Emily Knox worked in the Vocation Education & Training industry for 14 years. She started out as a Graphic Designer and eLearning Developer, then was promoted to Operations and Development Manager, then Project Manager. 

During this time, she managed the design, content, validation and development of hundreds of creative, innovative and engaging units of competencies. She implemented numerous software systems across the company and was integral in the development of a full learning management system. Scoping projects, risk analysis, business analysis and managing teams both in Australia and overseas were among her roles. She was also responsible for marketing, online sales, staff and student support, IT and administration. 

These skills have carried over to CJK Fire & Safety where Emily writes content for online courses, blogs, articles, websites, social media posts, newsletters and podcasts. This includes the graphic design, storyboarding and development into the LMS. She also implements software systems, maintains websites and provides IT support. As the executive assistant, she is involved with reports, templates, inspections, scheduling, travel, customer service and administration. 

Qualifications 

  • Bachelor of Communication Design, James Cook University  
  • Diploma of Business 
  • Diploma of Business Administration 
  • Certificate IV in Training and Assessment 

Just as she is an all-rounder at work, Emily is an all-rounder in life. She likes art, music, movies, books, sport, hiking, camping, adventures, travel and a good laugh. Mum to a little girl and 2 staffys, she also enjoys cooking (perhaps more accurately eating) and working out (to counteract the eating!).
