Emma is a native-born Ukrainian; hence she has been given the nickname/call sign of “Black Widow”. She has always had a desire for helping others, which has led her to pursuing her dream in working in the dental field. Emma was recruited to Dr. Soung’s team in 2022 (after working as a dental assistant in General Dentistry for a bit) and she has loved every minute of the fast-paced and more demanding role as a Surgical Assistant in Oral Surgery. Emma has an exotic taste when it comes to restaurants and enjoys all types of foods and flavors. She will not hesitate to try something new and will never back out of a challenge. Emma is the captain of pranking Dr. Soung and keeps everyone laughing in the office!

FUN FACT: Emma might have a fit appearance but looks can be deceiving (as the saying goes) because this girl can eat! Due to her love for food, she has competed in several eating competitions in the Southeast and aspires to make it to the famed annual July 4th Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest one day. She can inhale a whole donut in two bites, and her proudest eating achievement so far is 25 glazed donuts in 10 minutes! (True or False? Just ask Emma if/when you come by to visit us at Waverly Oral Surgery!)
