Emma Kathryn Miskew (born February 14, 1989) is a Canadian curler. She is the long-time third of the three-time Canadian champion and 2017 world champion Rachel Homan rink.[1] The Homan team would represent Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Miskew joined up with Homan in 2001 at the age of 12, after their fathers decided to form a team with the pair after the two faced off in the final of a little rock tournament played during the 2001 Nokia Brier. Miskew, who had been curling since she was five, was previously a skip in her own right.[2] As a member of the Homan rink, Miskew has won four provincial Bantam titles, two Provincial junior titles, a Canada Games gold medal, the 2010 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, three provincial championships (2011, 2013 & 2017) and three Scotties Tournament of Hearts in 2013, 2014 and 2017, the 2015 Canada Cup of Curling, the 2017 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials and a career six Grand Slam of Curling titles. She represented Canada at the 2010 World Junior Curling Championships in Flims, Switzerland where she won a silver medal. She also represented Canada as a member of the Homan team at the 2013 World Women's Curling Championship in Riga, Latvia where she won a bronze medal, at the 2014 Ford World Women's Curling Championship in Saint John, New Brunswick where they won a silver medal, and at the 2017 World Women's Curling Championship in Beijing, China where they won a gold medal. At the 2018 Winter Olympics, the team would finish in sixth place.

Aside from the Homan team, Miskew was also won the 2008 Junior provincial mixed title with Christian Tolusso.

Personal life

Miskew was born in Ottawa, went to Brookfield High School, and graduated with an industrial design degree from Carleton University in 2012.[3] In her last year at Carleton University, Miskew was the assistant coach for the university's new women's curling team, which was started by her former team member Lynn Kreviazuk.[4] As part of Team Homan, Miskew has run an annual curling camp for junior curlers at the Ottawa Curling Club. The third annual event was held in September 2018.[5] Miskew previously worked for the Senate of Canada as a project manager.[3] She currently runs her own industrial and graphic design company, and designed the 2017-2021 Team Canada apparel designs for curling, which are worn by members of Team Canada at events such as World Championships and the Olympics.[6][7] As of September 2018, Miskew operates Capital Curling Supplies, a curling pro shop located in the Ottawa Curling Club.[8] She is engaged to Kensy Jones.[9]
