Emily started her professional career in kinesiology as a lifestyle coach and personal trainer. Her love of helping people achieve their health and fitness goals while overcoming personal challenges sparked her interest in nursing. Emily is currently in her last year of the Compressed Time Frame program at the University of Western Ontario. She is completing her integrative practicum on the child and adolescent mental health and eating disorders unit at Victoria hospital and hopes to work there when she’s completed her degree. Emily also plans to pursue her PhD in Nursing in the fall of 2012.
