She has professional interests in surgery, ultrasound, and behavior, and is especially interested in continuing to grow her knowledge of integrative medicine to better support comfort, mobility, and overall wellness.
“I believe the best care starts with truly knowing each pet and their family. When we take the time to build those relationships, we can create care plans that are more thoughtful, more effective, and more supportive for everyone involved.”
