About the host
Emily is originally from Utah and now lives in Cleveland, Ohio. She has lived with narcolepsy with cataplexy for 15 years and is the mom of 3 boys (ages 10, 8, and 3). After struggling to identify support and direction on her journey of pregnancy and childbearing with narcolepsy, Emily sought opportunities to offer more resources and encouragement to women on a similar path. Since 2019, she has deeply enjoyed connecting with other women as a facilitator for the Wake up Narcolepsy Pregnancy and Parenting with Narcolepsy peer support group. Emily is also a scientist and a medical writer and has performed research in medication use during lactation with narcolepsy. Emily also enjoys family history research, camping, bicycling, and playing sports with her kids.
