About
I have much love for this world and the people and animals that inhabit it! Veterinary medicine is a diverse, growing field that helps in so many ways! I am delighted to be a part of it. I have enjoyed my educational journey and find myself falling in love with aspects of vet med as I learn and experience more. My current interests include ultrasound, zoological medicine, internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, teaching, and research. I look forward to connecting with you!
