Why I do what I do

Similar to others that work in this field, it was my own experience of healing from an eating disorder that sparked a desire to help others do the same. After encountering several health professionals that overlooked or exacerbated my eating disorder, my recovery journey started when I first met with my eating disorders dietitian. As someone who felt so afraid of food and at war with my body, it was life-changing to work with someone who understood these struggles, and had the expertise to teach me how to eat again. This experience inspired me to become a dietitian and pursue advanced training in eating disorders.

The best part of my job is...

To watch the person across from me come alive when the fog of the eating disorder is lifted. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Emily then completed her dietetic internship through the University of Tennessee, Martin, but enjoyed completing clinical and community rotations in the Nashville area. Emily started her behavioral health career working in an inpatient, general psychiatric care unit. From there, she began working specifically with eating disorder clients in the PHP, IOP and outpatient levels of care. Emily’s professional career has included work with children, adolescents and adults with eating disorders and other behavioral health diagnoses, most notably with Rogers Behavioral Health in Skokie, IL and Nashville, TN for over 6 years.

Why I do what I do

Beginning in college, I felt a special affinity for Nutrition. I slowly found a skill and niche for applying what I learned in school in working with elementary aged kids in the community. I pursued a minor in psychology that underpinned my foundational understanding of how our mental health and well-being coincides with our physical health and well-being. As I began working as a Clinical Dietitian at an inpatient psychiatric hospital, I established a really firm understanding of my aptitude and desire to work more fully in the behavioral health field. This led me to begin a career in Eating Disorder treatment full-time. 

The best part of my job is...

I love connecting with people and being a support and witness to their recovery journey. It can be hard to clearly see the journey we've walked, especially when it's difficult. I love supporting the person through the process and being able to reflect the progress back at the end of the day.

Why I do what I do

Emily first became interested in the field of Nutrition and Dietetics when she had a loved one work with a dietitian in their own eating disorder recovery. Seeing the role of a dietitian impact her loved one’s healing process is what ultimately pushed Emily to study Nutrition and Dietetics.

The best part of my job is...

Emily’s favorite part of her job is seeing her clients light up about something they are passionate about, and celebrating their wins with them.
