Emily is known amongst the residents for her easy smile and cheerful demeanour; however, don’t be fooled. This fierce R5 was the President of Resident Doctors of Canada during the COVID pandemic while working on her Masters of Health Administration. Born in Winnipeg, raised in White Rock, with an undergrad in Halifax and med school in Toronto, Emily is destined to travel. You might find this resident traversing the volcanoes of Iceland or diving under the seas of Nicaragua. Before residency, Emily briefly considered a career as a hot air balloon pilot. However, as she had never actually been in a hot air balloon, she decided to pursue Emergency Medicine instead. Luckily for us, this coffee and sushi lover ventured west again, back to her BC roots, to share her endless enthusiasm with us all.
