About
I am a small animal Emergency Veterinarian residing in Oregon. I completed a rigorous small animal rotating internship prior to finding my passion for emergency medicine, surgery, shelter medicine and OneHealth. I enjoy serving my community and profession through education and advocacy. I enjoy balancing veterinary medicine with hiking, cycling, backpacking, photography and spending time with my cats.
