Dr Emily grew up in Pataway/Burnie, before completing her medical degree at the University of Tasmania. She undertook her internship and RMO years at the Launceston General Hospital, where she worked across a range of specialties including a rotation in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
Em has since worked as a GP registrar in Scottsdale, Rokeby, and at the Aboriginal Health Service in Nipaluna/Hobart. She obtained her FRACGP in early 2023, winning the Tasmanian Faculty Examination Medal for achieving the highest score in her written fellowship exams.
Dr Em is particularly passionate about weight-neutral medicine and does not weigh patients routinely or promote weight loss as a default goal. After the birth of her son in late 2024, Em has also developed a passion for Neuroprotective Developmental Care, and is planning on completing her NDC training in late 2025.
Outside of work, Dr Em enjoys reading pastel-covered millennial fiction, drinking natural wines, and sharing pastries at the market with her son Wes. She also likes to start new hobbies and has recently taken up bird watching.
