I love working closely with my rehabilitation patients and their owners to deliver progress, pain relief, and a better quality of life for their beloved pet. I have a passion for orthopedic and neurological cases. They challenge me to think outside the box, as every patient is different. Constant learning and growing is essential and I love it!"
"I am an avid cat lover who began my journey in the veterinary field in 2009 and became a registered veterinary technician in 2014. l have spent the last several years working in small animal practice as an VT with a passion for patient care, understanding disease processes, surgical nursing and anesthesia. I have had numerous cats and dogs over the years that have fueled my curiosity and driven my desire to expand my knowledge. In my off time, I enjoy being with my husband and our furry family, watching movies, playing video games, crafting and singing."
