Emily received her BA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of South Alabama. With a background in sports and dance, she had an early interest in exercise and movement science. However, her own experience as a young patient in physical therapy is what later inspired her to pursue a career in the field.

To best facilitate the transition from "injured patient" to "healthy individual," Emily believes in a movement-centered approach in conjunction with manual therapy and patient education.
