As a University of Missouri School of Veterinary Medicine graduate, I’m proud to have been a practicing vet for the last 26 years. Fifteen of those years were in NYC. I moved back to Missouri to tend to family for quite a few years and continued my work as a veterinarian while I was there. I’m so happy to be resuming my career in New York City.

I have two cats and a border Collie. As a pet owner myself, one of my favorite aspects of animal medicine is trying to figure out ways to make my clients’ pets feel better when they come in sick. It feels good to bring ease and relief to pet owners and their animal companions. I also love meeting new puppies and kittens when they come in for checkups. Another part of animal medicine that I enjoy is soft tissue surgery.

Outside of work, I am an avid reader and traveler, and I love learning foreign languages. My dad had a short stint as a professional football player and then was a lifelong football coach, and I inherited his love for the game (go Brocos!). Watching professional tennis is also a passion of mine.
