Dr. Emma's passion for dentistry took root in middle school during a weeklong internship with her family's dentist in the Thousand Islands, where she grew up, and grew through summers spent working in that office throughout high school. She studied Dental Hygiene in Ottawa, Ontario, then worked as a hygienist in Canada before earning her U.S. licensure and joining Salvatore Dental as a dental hygienist from 2015 to 2020. Wanting to expand the care she could offer, she completed her bachelor's degree at SUNY Albany and went on to earn her Doctor of Dental Surgery at NYU College of Dentistry, followed by a residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the Albany Stratton VA Medical Center.

Dr. Emma is committed to making every patient feel comfortable, heard, and at ease, taking a gentle, patient-centered approach that helps put even nervous patients at ease and encourages them to ask questions. Outside the practice, she's a wife to Michael and mother to Cavanagh and Whitney (plus their German Shepherd, Ned), often found cheering Cavanagh on at hockey, riding her Peloton in the early mornings, or traveling with her family.
