Emily was born and raised in Falls Church, Virginia, where she enjoyed playing basketball, soccer, and swimming. She received her bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of Virginia. She attended her physician assistant program and received her Master of Health Science from Duke University in North Carolina. She then spent the first six years of her career working in orthopedic surgery at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospital in New York City.
Emily now works with three of our orthopedic surgeons with a focus on upper extremity conditions. She examines patients, orders and interprets labs and imaging studies, makes diagnoses, formulates treatment plans, prescribes medications, assists in surgery, and performs injections.
In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her dog, traveling, exploring the outdoors, and seeing live music.
