Emily is from Montana but has lived in Boise since 2008. Her passion for helping animals started very early. One of her first jobs was in a veterinary hospital cleaning kennels, and she never looked back! She has been a veterinary technician for over 10 years now. She started working at Companions in 2014. She left for a little over a year to improve her skills as a surgery technician at WestVet. She came back to Companions because she missed building relationships with pet owners and being able to follow up with her patients as they progressed through care and recovery. She lives with her boyfriend and their energetic boston terrier. She loves enjoying the outdoors. She rafts, hikes, backpacks, and she started her own business making bandanas and toys for animals called Critters Harmony.
