Emma Templeton is a clinical resident prosthetist/orthotist for Hanger Clinic in Colorado Springs.

As a clinical resident, Emma works with patients of all ages and loves improving people’s lives by enhancing their mobility. She began her journey to the field of prosthetics and orthotics by interning at Common Ground Outdoor Adventures, a nonprofit dedicated to providing accessible outdoor recreation for everyone. When leading adaptive biking and water-sports activities, Emma could see the powerful influence of movement and knew this was work she wanted to pursue.

Outside of work, Emma enjoys traveling, hiking, pickleball, learning Spanish, ice skating, and spending time with her husband and her cat.
