Born and raised in Vancouver, BC, Emily has always had a vivid imagination and big dreams. After obtaining her PhD in Chemistry from the University of British Columbia, she pursued a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Edinburgh, worked as an Associate Editor for two science journals in Germany and ran a multidisciplinary facility back in Vancouver. Her experimentation with creative writing resulted in her debut novel, The Science of Boys, which combines her background in the sciences with her passion for storytelling. She has also written Our World: Japan and The Perfect Sushi. Emily currently lives in Richmond, BC with her husband and two children.
