My grandfathers love for animals, along with summers spent on my cousin’s farm, helped shape my love for animals. From a young age, I learned through them that animals depend on compassionate people to advocate for their well-being. That early influence inspired my passion for working with and speaking up for animals, as they cannot speak for themselves.
I earned a degree in healthcare management and began working in the veterinary field while living in Hawaii. One of the most impactful experiences in my career was traveling to the Marshall Islands to help provide free veterinary care to one of the most isolated communities in the world.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my two Labradors, Riley and Charlie. Riley is our older pup that loves anything involving a treat or cuddling. Charlie is our crazy curious girl that keeps us busy.
Working with animals and helping others provide care for their pets is something that I am grateful to do.
