I attended Bel-Rea Institute in Denver, Colorado to become a Registered Veterinary Technician and have been apart of the VCA Edgewood Animal Hospital Team since 2008. 

My home is currently filled with four dogs: Marly a Labrador, Rookie a Terrier Mix, Sniper a Cattle Dog Mix and Mission a Border Collie Mix. 

In my spare time I enjoy training my dogs.  I also spend a lot of time at flyball, the dogs and I travel not only around Iowa but sometimes the country competing. 

When I am not training my own dogs I enjoy teaching puppy class here at VCA EAH.  I also have an interest in animal behavior and animal physical rehabilitation.
