I am from Worthington, MN and received my Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Augustana College in Sioux Falls, SD. I graduated from the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1995. I practiced in the St. Louis, MO area for 3 years before joining VCA Feist in 1998. I am married and have 2 children. We share our home with 4 very spoiled cats (Loki, Harry, Sylvia Pearl and Elvis), along with our dog (Champ). When I am not working or bringing Champ to the dog park, I enjoy spending time outdoors, knitting, reading, and yoga.
