I became a veterinarian for two reasons: the first being that I love to help people by helping their pets and the second is because I love the complexity of scientific problem solving I get to do on a regular basis. Learning new things and being able to utilize that knowledge to better the lives of my patients is rewarding. My goal is to treat all of my patients and their owners with kindness and compassion.

My family includes my significant other, David, our dog, Mara Jade, and our two cats, Plague and Hurricane.
