She is originally from Council Bluffs, Iowa where she was very active in athletics. Her passions were basketball and volleyball. Emily always enjoyed exercise and enjoyed pushing others towards a healthy lifestyle. She always knew she wanted to help people and liked the idea of working in healthcare. Emily first started working at Jennie Edmundson Memorial Hospital at age 16 in the physical therapy department. Growing up, she knew she would go into the field of medicine. Nursing was a field that she felt would allow her to build relationships with patients, while at the same time provide medical care.
Emily graduated in 2004 from University of Nebraska Medical Center with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She then worked in the Trauma and Transplant ICU at Nebraska Medicine. She saw first hand the complications of chronic diseases and the role preventative medicine could play in healthcare.
Emily completed her Masters Degree in Nursing from University of Nebraska Medical Center in May of 2008 specializing in Family Practice. Her family practice career originally started in Glenwood, Iowa where she worked for Methodist Physicians Clinic providing chronic and acute care to men, women, and children. She eventually moved her family practice career closer to home and began working at Nebraska Medicine Eagle Run Health Clinic from 2016-2022. The relationships she built with her clients were vital to helping them achieve their overall health and wellness goals. Weight loss was an area she enjoyed and focused on during her family medicine career. Watching clients change their lives through diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications encouraged her to look outside traditional medicine practices.
Emily has a broad knowledge in diabetes, hypertension, women’s health, men’s health, sports medicine, and mental health. She understands that men and women are individuals and what works for one client, may not work for another. Emily is driven to finding the underlying cause for clients health concerns and illnesses. She aims to treat every client like they were her family member. Emily is determined to help clients feel their best by providing individualized care and treatment, through education and a team approach. She is excited to work along side Dr. Loeske and Lauryn and loves that we are a team working together for our clients.
