I have always had a love for all creatures and always knew I wanted to work with animals for as long as I can remember. I’m a military brat and have lived all over the world. I started officially working with animals in Yokosuka, Japan in 1998 where I volunteered as the Vice President of the local animal shelter and assisted local veterinarians at the Veterinary Treatment Facility.
I truly love my job, and live for what I do. I’ve taken a special interest in diagnostic imaging, pain management, and rehabilitation. I’m also a certified canine massage therapist.
I currently have 3 dogs, Ethel, Hubert, and Barrett. Ethel is a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, Hubert is a boxer, and Barrett is a labrador. I also have 4 cats (Carlisle, Pismo, Eliza, and Lil), a bunch of chickens, 3 goats (Charlotte, Heidi, and Gretchen), a bunny (BunBun), and 2 mice (Agnes & Oblina). In addition to my lovely pets, I currently live with my husband, two daughters, and son (Sean, Monika, Bronson, & Kynlee), who share the same love for animals as I do. In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors: camping, hiking, bird watching, gardening and scuba diving. I love spending time with my family and friends.
I joined the Kingsbrook team in August of 2011 and feel very fortunate to be here. I’m proud to be a part of such a loving, compassionate group and look forward to years to come.
