Meet Emma, a passionate R&D Engineering Intern at CONMED, whose journey into biomedical engineering began with a class project on bio constructs—where she was introduced to our BioBrace technology. That spark of curiosity brought her to CONMED’s internship program! She’s now contributing to real-world solutions that improve healing and patient outcomes.

Why Engineering?
Emma was inspired by the creativity and impact of biomedical design. She loves that engineering allows her to blend artistic thinking with functional innovation—creating designs that are both innovative and life-changing.

Why CONMED?
Emma chose CONMED for its cutting-edge work, supportive culture, and strong female representation in leadership. She’s especially grateful for the other women represented within CONMED’s engineering program—mentors like Sarah Gatof and Sarah Port, who have helped her grow and thrive.

Her Advice to Future Women Engineers:

Get involved with SWE (Society of Women Engineers)
Talk to women in the field to build confidence and insight
Seek out environments where representation and mentorship are prioritized

Emma’s journey is a reminder that engineering is more than just numbers—it’s about innovation, impact, and community. We’re proud to have her on the CONMED team and can’t wait to see what she accomplishes this summer!
