Emily is an experienced animal care professional with over 10 years of hands-on experience in the animal care industry. Originally from Florida, she now calls the Asheville area home, where she blends her love for animal welfare with the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. With a deep passion for improving the lives of animals, Emily has worked in various roles across the field, from veterinary clinics to animal rescue organizations. When she's not caring for animals, you can often find her hiking through the Blue Ridge trails with her husband, Australian Cattle Dog mix (Stevie), and her Poodle mix (Buffy), enjoying the peace and solitude of the mountains. Her commitment to animal welfare and connection to the outdoors fuels her work and inspires her to make a difference daily.
