Emily moved to Alaska at the age of seven and considers herself a lifelong Alaskan. She left the state for nursing school, but when it came time to decide where to go after graduation, she and her husband felt a strong pull to return. There’s something about the community in Alaska that, in her words, “you can’t find anywhere else.”

In the eight years since returning, Emily began her nursing career, got married, and started a family. She’s now a proud mom to three little girls who bring immense joy to her life and who are one of her biggest motivations for the work she does.

Emily has been drawn to women’s health for as long as she can remember. Her favorite TV show at age ten was A Baby Story on TLC, something she admits might be unusual, but feels deeply telling. That early curiosity never faded. As she grew older, she knew she wanted to care for women and saw nursing as the best path to make that happen.

The majority of Emily’s career has been spent in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Over time, her passion for this work has only deepened. She’s proud to have walked alongside hundreds of women reclaiming their lives from chronic pelvic pain. Every day, she listens to stories of women who have been dismissed or overlooked by the healthcare system. As frustrating as those stories can be, they give her a clear purpose: to change the narrative.

At Borealis LIFE, Emily offers women a voice, unwavering support, and compassionate care through every step of their healing process. For her, this work is more than a career, it’s her calling.
