I became a part of the VCA Cherry Bend team in June 2007 after graduating with honors from Michigan State's College of Veterinary Medicine.

Animals have always been an important part of my life. I have worked in the veterinary field in one form or another since I was 15 years old, and I feel very fortunate to be able to serve the medical needs of the fuzzier members of your family here in Traverse City. I have a special interest in gastrointestinal endoscopy, a non-invasive tool for evaluating stomach or intestinal problems.

I share my home with two epileptic rescues, Hershel and Daryl. When I am not at work, I enjoy hiking, kayaking, and pretty much anything else that will get me outdoors. I am thrilled to be a part of the wonderful team at VCA Cherry Bend and look forward to meeting you and your pets.
