About
I am a 2023 graduate of the Professional Program of Veterinary Medicine through the University of Nebraska - Lincoln and Iowa State University. Through this program, I obtained a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. Currently, I am working as an associate veterinarian in a small animal general practice in Eugene Oregon. I am particularly interested in small animal theriogenology, soft tissue surgery, dentistry, dermatology, ophthalmology, and exotic animals with reptiles being my favorite.
