About
Veterinarian with a passion for zoological and integrative medicine. I graduated with a DVM from Ross University, and completed my clinical year rotations at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I then went on to complete a small animal rotating internship at Ontario Veterinary College, followed by a zoological specialty internship at the Assiniboine Park Zoo. I have a strong interest and passion for integrative medicine, particularly acupuncture and laser therapy, to improve the quality of life of my patients in all settings, including client owned pets and the aging zoological populations.
