About

Prior to working and studying in the veterinary field, I worked as a software developer. This allowed me to gain experience in providing exceptional client care backed by clear communication. When I returned to university to become a veterinarian, I became involved in the management of several university clubs. These experiences allowed me to connect with broader communities and build relationships with a wide variety of people. As a veterinarian, I believe that striking the right balance of empathy and confidence is crucial to engaging clients when helping them to make decisions about their pet’s health and wellbeing. In both my personal and professional life, I am dependable and highly organized. In the clinic, this leads me to create thorough, detailed organizational systems and protocols in order to achieve optimal patient care.
