Emily

Emily began her journey in veterinary care at just 17 years old, when a routine visit to her local vet turned into an unexpected opportunity. After picking up her dog from a spay appointment, she asked if they were hiring and happened to catch the attention of the manager. She was hired almost immediately and quickly discovered her passion for helping animals.

Now as a Veterinary Technician Assistant at Parrish Veterinary Clinic, Emily finds joy in supporting pets through their healing journeys and loves the sense of accomplishment that comes from seeing a sick patient recover. She also enjoys learning the day-to-day workings of the clinic and appreciates being part of a team that shares her commitment to pet care.

Originally from a military family, Emily recently moved to the area with her mom. She shares her life with three dogs: Sophie, a sweet 16-year-old Bichon; Chunk, a playful Goldendoodle who bounces everywhere he goes; and Jackson, a loyal Heeler mix rescued in Alabama. Outside of work, Emily enjoys painting, going to the beach, walking with dogs, and relaxing with Netflix or a good book—especially The Alchemist. She’s proud of buying her first car and making the bold decision to move across the country to build a better future. Emily is excited to be part of the Parrish Veterinary Clinic team and looks forward to growing alongside her fellow animal care professionals.
