About
I spent the last 14 years devoted to the wellbeing and performance of working dogs, first as a volunteer and now as a veterinarian. I understand the unique nature of working alongside dog handlers and trainers to provide gold standard medical care to working dog teams. My leadership experience as an Army Officer has allowed me to develop exceptionally strong mentorship, team-building, and communication skills which are key to organizational success. I have a true passion for working with people to advance human-animal bond initiatives.
