Emily, Veterinary Assistant
Emily has been working with animals for over ten years. From her high school start walking dogs at the local Humane Society and cleaning cages for a wildlife rehabilitation center, she went on to spend a summer raising Mississippi Sandhill Cranes while completing her undergraduate degree in Biology at Oberlin College. From there, she pursued wildlife rehabilitation and avian medicine, working at facilities across the country before moving to Seattle.
Much of Emily’s experience comes from a seabird rehabilitation center in the San Francisco Bay, where she worked while completing her Master’s in Avian Sciences at UC Davis. It was at this facility that she also was trained in oil spill response for wildlife and participated in numerous washes for oiled patients.
Although new to holistic medicine for companion animals, Emily has found great benefits in working with a holistic practitioner for herself and is excited to bring her compassion and care to working with domestic pets!
Outside of the clinic, Emily is an artist and maker, most recently focusing on hand-poked tattooing and playing guitar. She can frequently be found walking around Greenlake with her dog, Benny.
