She then returned west to pursue her MPH in Infectious Disease and Epidemiology at UC Berkeley SPH, and after finally realizing all of her extracurricular activities involved animals and rescue creatures, Emily pursued her DVM at UC Davis SVM with emphasis in Small Animal/Equine Medicine, graduating in 2014 and including a rotation at the then-newly established LBEMC!
She worked in mixed animal private practice in Mendocino County for five years before joining CDFA as the Equine Veterinarian Specialist to combine her love of veterinary medicine and education, infectious disease mitigation, and the One Health initiative. She is excited to return fully to veterinary practice and be part of the Penryn veterinary community. Her professional interests include internal medicine, infectious disease management, preventive care and wellness, and emergency medicine and disaster response.
