My love for animals began in childhood, from reading nature books and tracking wildlife to caring for my childhood dog, "Gracey." My passion for veterinary medicine blossomed while volunteering at a wildlife rehab, where I worked in the avian and mammal nurseries. These experiences inspired me to pursue a career in the field.

Since joining the team at Woodlake in 2020, I’ve honed my skills as a veterinary technician, focusing on gold-standard patient care and client education. I truly value the relationships I’ve built with clients and their pets, and the supportive environment with my team.

Outside of work, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors—hiking, fishing from my kayak, archery, hunting, or spending time with my 3 dogs and cat.
