I was born in northern California, and have lived around Orange County since I was in my early teens. My interest in veterinary medicine and my love for animals blossomed when I began rescuing orphaned neonatal kittens at 13 years old. I have fostered over 100 neonatal kittens and as I took on more vulnerable and fragile kittens, I found myself looking for every opportunity to learn about their illnesses and how to administer treatments so I could give them their best chance of having long, happy lives. I started my career as a Kennel Attendant back in 2017 and have since worked at an emergency veterinary clinic as a Doctor's Assistant and recently had the pleasure of joining the team here at VCA Laguna Niguel as a Veterinary Assistant. I love watching our patients grow and helping to prolong their lives through preventative treatment so that our clients can enjoy their pet's good health for as long as possible, and I love having the opportunity to comfort and treat them while they are here. When not here at the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my friends, travelling, watching movies at home with my 4 cats, and spending days at Disneyland making memories with my family.
