Dr. Emma was born in Droitwich, England, and has called North Queensland home since the age of three. Growing up surrounded by animals of all kinds, her passion for animal care has been lifelong and naturally led her into veterinary medicine. Emma graduated from James Cook University in 2023 and has since pursued a career focused on compassionate, high-quality veterinary care.

Emma’s favourite part of being a veterinarian is building trust and lasting connections with nervous or anxious dogs, helping them feel safe and comfortable during their visits. She has particular professional interests in diagnostic imaging, palliative and end-of-life care, and animal behaviour, with a strong focus on providing compassionate, patient-centred care for both pets and their owners.

Outside of work, Emma shares her home with two dogs, a blue tongue lizard, and a flock of chickens, continuing her love of animals well beyond the clinic walls. If she is not at home with her menagerie, you can usually find her camping, gardening, or playing video games with her friends.
