She has been involved with us here at Jackson Creek Dental Group for many years. Not only did she do her externship and ROP training here, she also volunteered to work at our Smiles For Kids Day. “I have always been interested in dentistry, and wanted to have a healthy, beautiful white smile,” says Emily. “When this job came open, I was so excited. Everyone is so nice and helpful, and I love that it’s all about pulling together as a team. I am also happy to be working in an office that has all the latest in dental technology.”

Emily is the proud mother of triplets and says “These are fun, busy times for me and our house is never quiet unless the kids are sleeping.” Fortunately for Emily she has all of her family here in Amador County so there is a lot of help taking care of the little ones.

Horses are something that have always been a part of her life and she spent a couple years showing them and winning ribbons at the Amador County Fair. Emily also has a love for soccer, playing both indoor and outdoor tournaments over the past 16 years. In addition, on any given day you might find her cooking and baking, or just being outdoors and in the snow during the winter.
