Veterinary Technician
Emma Oesch grew up in Star Valley and joined our team in September 2026. She graduated from Belmont University in Nashville, TN in 2021 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Musical Theatre. She worked as a veterinary technician at her uncle’s mixed animal practice in the Treasure Valley for three years and was a doctor-specific surgical technician at WestVet in Boise for Dr. Sean Murphy for over a year. While there, she managed Dr. Murphy’s case load of soft tissue, orthopedic, and wound management cases which included procedures such as total hip replacements, hip toggles, TPLO’s, fracture repairs, TECA-BO’s, VBO’s, mass removals, orthopedic implant case studies, and cutaneous reconstructive procedures.
While she appreciates all the things she’s learned and experienced in her time away from the valley, Emma always dreamed of moving back home. Emma also teaches voice lessons and enjoys helping lead worship at church as well as just singing on her own accord. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, going hiking with her two dogs, snuggling with her cat, horseback riding, paddle boarding, snowmobiling, baking, and just generally embracing whatever adventure life throws her way. Emma is beyond grateful for the opportunity to work with the rest of the team at Bridger Animal Hospital and looks forward to whatever goodness each day brings.
