Wendy Medical Assistant

Emily, Practice Administrator

When Emily joined GROW in 2019 as our Practice Manager, her background in healthcare primarily included oncology and gynecologic oncology.  She holds a BA in both Anthropology and International Studies from Wayne State University in Detroit, where she was born and raised. Emily is passionate about equitable and accessible healthcare, as well as childhood literacy, and enjoys connecting, networking and volunteering in these areas. She is committed first and foremost to excellent patient care, and has been honored to serve the amazing families she’s met in Austin, while learning all there is to know about pediatric healthcare management.  Before coming to Austin in 2016, Emily and her family lived in St. Pete, Florida as well as Philadelphia. In her free time, she loves to take in live music, build upon her vinyl collection, shop the area thrift stores, take on ambitious home projects, and cook for her family. You’ll undoubtedly find Emily at various activities around town with her two elementary-aged kiddos, and she takes every chance she can to be active within the school PTA. Please say hello any time!
