I have always loved animals. I used to bandage my stuffed animals when I was a kid. I wanted to be an “animal doctor” before I could say “veterinarian”.
What do you consider your greatest accomplishment at this point in your life?
Realizing my lifelong dream of helping animals and becoming a veterinarian.
If you could give one piece of advice to pet owners, what would it be?
“Slowing down” could be more than getting old. Share your concerns with your DVM about changes you notice as your pet ages. Together we can help your pets live their best life.
3 things people might be surprised to know about you?
I led the pet therapy program in vet school. It was so rewarding sharing the love of animals with nursing home residents and children in foster care group homes. I love music and I’ve played the bassoon, saxophone, guitar, and now I’m learning the harp. I love nature and enjoy long walks with my poodle and my husband.
