Bio

Emily Christiansen has been a veterinarian with the NC Aquariums since 2014, after completing a zoological (aquatic) animal medicine residency at NC State University/CMAST. Originally from outside Philadelphia, she spent a number of years bouncing between Florida and New England, and attended veterinary school at Tufts University, before landing in North Carolina. Her favorite part of being at the NC Aquariums and CMAST is the overlap between clinical medicine, research, and teaching – where every day is different and often unexpected!
