Emory is a Florida native with an MPH from the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans. Now in DC, Emory works on global and community health programs. Throughout undergrad and graduate school, Emory worked as a personal concierge for families, an experience that deepened her love of caring for both people and pets.

She grew up inseparable from her childhood sidekick, Coco, a mischievous Himalayan Siamese who never let her take a step alone. Her love for animals only grew from there - her family has since rescued two beautiful (and delightfully chaotic) Golden Retrievers who have kept life full of laughter and fur. These days in DC, you’ll often find Emory wandering Rock Creek Park trails, sampling new coffee shops and farmers markets (always on the lookout for the most dog-friendly spots to score her Saturday pets) or reading in Malcolm X Park.

Her dream is to one day own a farm filled with animals, but for now, she can’t wait to meet and spend time with yours!
