In the summer of 2010, my brother brought me a sickly German Shepherd puppy named Chloe. The moment I met Chloe, I knew we would have a special bond forever. She gave me purpose, taught me patience, and showed me the unconditional love that only an animal can give us. I decided then that I wanted to go into veterinary medicine and went back to school to do so. I graduated from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine in 2024. Chloe is still with me and has been joined by another German Shepherd named Kenna—they continuously teach me new things and never fail to make me laugh out loud at least once a day.

I love working with all animals, but especially enjoy the challenge of building relationships with fearful and anxious pets to lessen the stress associated with their veterinary visits. I also put a high priority on preventative health in the hopes of increasing the good quality years we get with our pets. It is my goal to create a collaborative partnership with my clients to be best able to serve and care for their pets.
