I grew up in Orono, Minnesota, and have always had a passion for caring for children and supporting families through every stage of growth. I completed my training as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in Primary Care at St. Catherine University, graduating in 2020, and I am also a Lactation Consultant—a combination that gives me a unique ability to support infants, new parents, and growing families. Emma is also a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist and can see patients for lactation consultations.

I love forming strong, lasting relationships with my patients and their families. I focus on meeting each child exactly where they are and helping them build confidence, independence, and a voice of their own. I am especially passionate about caring for toddlers and younger school-aged children, helping them learn, explore, and understand their growing bodies. I also have a special interest in nutrition, exercise, and helping kids build healthy habits early in life.

Outside the clinic, I love to exercise, cook, bake, and go to concerts—I’ve seen the Jonas Brothers more than ten times.

My approach to care centers on connection, confidence, and empowerment. I build meaningful relationships with families, meet each child at their developmental stage, and help them grow into confident advocates for their own health and well-being.
