Associate Veterinarian
Personal Hobbies and Interests
Outside of work, I enjoy creative and outdoor activities that keep me balanced and inspired. I love painting, photography, gardening, hiking, and running. I also share my home with my mixed breed Lab-terrier, Snowman, who keeps life active and fun!
Favorite Part of My Job
One of my favorite aspects of veterinary medicine is the balance of medical autonomy and team support. I value being able to think critically, develop individualized treatment plans, and perform procedures — while also collaborating with a skilled and supportive team. I have a particular interest in soft tissue surgery and dentistry, where I can combine precision and problem-solving to directly improve a patient’s comfort and quality of life.
Why I Chose This Profession
I’ve always been drawn to both animals and science, and veterinary medicine felt like the natural intersection of those two passions. The field veterinary field allows me to apply a strong scientific foundation to meaningful, hands-on work that benefits animals and the families who love them. It’s incredibly rewarding to practice medicine while also building lasting relationships with clients and their pets.
