Hi, I’m Emilee!

I’m an Occupational Therapist fueled by a passion for growth and exploration, both personally and professionally. In my journey, I’ve found that fostering curiosity, collaborative learning, and adaptability leads to profound growth, especially in families and children. I’m thrilled to be returning for my second season at Kids in the Woods!

When I’m not at work I’m prioritizing the activities that fill me up. This looks different every day but often includes exercising, spending time with friends and family, hiking, golfing, or curling up with a coffee and book by the water. I also love to travel, especially to places where I can find mountains and blue waters all in one place!
