Emily was born and raised in south sunny Florida. In 2018 she graduated Dental Assisting Academy of the Palm Beaches, fell in love with Kerrville and moved here and drug a following with her. Don't look down on her because she's not a Texan-her positive and uplifting spirit is only making the sky bluer and the sun shines a little brighter in her presence. She does have a flaw though-she keeps praying for snow....in TEXAS! Help us launch her on a ski trip to prevent this weather...her prayers do work. There's a collection jar at the front desk to help fund and prevent this disaster. Emily enjoys getting work with Dr. Mitchell and the entire staff in helping our patients achieve optimal oral health-we truly love what we do and this one makes it aparent! Emily also enjoys hiking, traveling, an endless sea of DIY projects that she just can't quit and live music(don't tell anyone she loves karaoke and is launching her own band)....SHHHHH!
