Emory is a Family Physician with a strong interest in reproductive justice and compassionate addiction and mental health care. They have long felt a pull to work in partnership with vulnerable people, and have sought out opportunities to work globally since their work with Amnesty International in high school. Originally from Chicago, Emory went to medical school at Harvard and completed their Family Medicine residency at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, Washington where they worked at a public health clinic serving patients from all over the world and people experiencing homelessness. Emory loved the family medicine rotation they did in Navajo Nation in medical school and is excited to be returning. Emory is grateful for the opportunities they’ve had to participate in maternal and community health projects in Kenya, Sierra Leone, Uganda, and Malawi, and can’t wait to join Last Mile Health in Liberia. Emory enjoys cultivating houseplants, and while they are sad to part with the plants they’ve parented in residency, they are excited to move somewhere sunny enough to grow succulents! They also enjoys cooking and reading fiction and poetry. They are hoping post-residency life provides some opportunities to reconnect with other hobbies like making ceramics, writing poetry, and playing guitar.
