Emily started at The Zoo as a high school intern in 2007. She was hired as a keeper in early 2008, and worked seasonally for a while, before becoming full time staff in 2010. Emily has lived in Granville, MA her entire life and loves it! Growing up in the woods lead to many wildlife encounters which sparked her interest in the animal world and rehabiliation work. In 2013, she became licensed as a wildlife rehabilitator, a practice she maintains on a small-scale outside of The Zoo.

At home, Emily and her husband, Dylan, have a menagerie of their own. Current residents include a cat, Fenster, a great Pyrenees named Yonder, and Magic, their tenacious house-pig. Not to mention, the gaggle of raccoons, bunnies or opossums she is (usually) rehabbing. So, there’s never a dull (or quiet) moment in their house!
