Emily Thompson

Family: Emily has been married to her husband Joshua for 5 years, and they have two boys: Remington and Everett. They also live with their boy’s best friend, a golden doodle named Dixie.
Something most people don’t know about you: Emily absolutely adores flowers and someday hopes to have a large greenhouse where she can grow all kinds of flowers that she can make into bouquets to share with friends.

Education: Emily has a bachelors degree in communication sciences and disorders with a minor in psychology from Abilene Christian University as well as a doctorate in Audiology from The University of Texas at Austin. 

Favorite Food/Restaurant: Emily will eat a cheeseburger any day of the week, especially from Mighty Fine or Whataburger, but Sundays are reserved for Tex-Mex.

Free-time activity: Cooking is one of Emily’s favorite things to do, but she especially loves spending time with her family playing games, watching movies, or taking walks. 

What brought you to Texas?: My dad moved us here for his job when I was a junior in high school from Chicago where my family is originally from.

Bible Verse: Phil. 4:6-7- “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
