A little bit about me – I grew up on my family’s farm in Pennsylvania where I was given the opportunity to love and learn about many kinds of animals – big and small! From an early age, I was inspired by my grandfather who was a lifelong farmer. He taught me the importance of caring for animals and what it truly meant to be responsible for their health and wellbeing.
After high school, I studied at the Pennsylvania State University and graduated with a degree in animal sciences. I spent three years post-graduation working in the small animal, large animal, and veterinary research fields. These experiences solidified my true desire to become a veterinarian. I attended the Virginia Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine where I focused on companion animal studies (canine, feline, equine). I graduated in 2020 as a member of the veterinary honors society, Phi Zeta.
Today, my goal as a veterinarian is to work authentically as a team with my patients and their people to support animal health and wellbeing. I do my best to treat my patients as if they were my own family members because I would want someone to do the same for my own animals. I enjoy getting to know people and their animals – especially about the special, unique bonds they share! My professional interests include a little bit of everything but I am especially passionate about feline medicine, laparoscopic surgery and dentistry.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time adventuring outdoors riding bicycles, downhill skiing and riding horses. I am lucky to spend my life with husband, Greg, and with our three cats: Coal, Chloe and Cyra.
