I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’m grateful every day that I was able to turn that passion into a career as a veterinarian. I have a special interest in a One Health approach to veterinary medicine, focusing on strengthening the human–animal bond through a tailored, Fear-Free approach with each patient. I especially enjoy soft-tissue surgery, navigating complex cases, and helping pets live happy, healthy lives.
My journey in veterinary medicine has been shaped by my time in both Alaska and Colorado, where my love of animals and nature truly flourished. During my training in Alaska, I had the unique opportunity to work with sled dogs, marine mammals, and rural communities—experiences that continue to inspire my work today. I am also fluent in Spanish after spending time in Argentina, which has allowed me to connect with and expand access to care for more pet owners.
Outside of veterinary medicine, I enjoy cooking, exploring new places, and immersing myself in music, art, and the outdoors. You can often find me by the river or hammocking with my dog. I also play bass clarinet in local groups and am currently learning the cello.
I’m excited to bring my skills and knowledge in veterinary acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine to Canine Rehabilitation & Conditioning Group, and I look forward to supporting pets and their families with compassionate, integrative care.
