Emma was always interested in medicine, but her career path was solidified when she watched her younger twin sisters, born prematurely, receive life-saving care from medical professionals. Her interest was again confirmed when another of her sisters was diagnosed with a chronic disease as a teenager and witnessed the importance of empathetic care from the medical team. Emma knew that medicine was her calling – to help children and their families navigate times of sickness, health, and all the times in between.
Emma’s professional interests include allergies, preventative medicine, and breastfeeding. She loves that being a pediatrician allows her to build meaningful, long-lasting relationships with her patients and their families. Through these relationships, she hopes to help her patients establish long-lasting, healthy habits that will continue throughout their lives.
Emma is recently married to her wonderful husband, Dan, and they love spending time with their English Cream Golden Retriever, Bishop. She also enjoys hanging out with friends and family, and exploring new restaurants. Emma is also a dedicated yogi and a lifelong Taylor Swift fan (“Swiftie”).
