I’m Dr. Emma, and I’m thrilled to be joining the HousePaws family. I have known from a young age that I have a calling to be a caretaker for animals. My journey in veterinary medicine began at Rutgers University, where I earned my degree in Animal Science with a minor in Biochemistry. While at Rutgers, I worked as a veterinary assistant and technician at a small animal hospital—an experience that deepened my passion for the field and confirmed my desire to become a veterinarian. I went on to receive my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in Philadelphia.
My professional interests include the human-animal bond, client education, and preventative medicine. I’m committed to building trusting relationships with both pets and their people, and am excited to provide compassionate, lifelong care to the animals in our community. I believe in learning something new from each and every patient I encounter. 
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my cat and my dog (Ben and Millie) as well as my people, practicing yoga, going to the beach, reading, and hiking.
