I chose to work in veterinary medicine as I have always had a deep love for animals. I wanted to be able to be an advocate for them and help them in any way I could. The part of my job that most feeds me is that we are able to help animals and their people whether it be a serious emergency or just better educating owners so that their pets can be appropriately cared for and given the best life possible.

My husband, Ian, and I love to take walks in forest reserves with our son, Kaleb. I also like to watch shows about animals and nature. We share our home with 3 cats, Sophia, Dusty, and Smunchkin. They each have their own personality! Sophia loves to climb and hang out in high areas. Dusty is sweet but shy. Smunchkin is playful and mischievous. They all get along great!

I went to Good Counsel High School, and started working in veterinary medicine right after graduation. I love to laugh and bring happiness to those around me through laughter.
