I love rock climbing, trail running, hiking with my dog and spending time with the people and animals I love outside. I have a Boxer-Pitbull mix, Chloe, who is the love of my life and a trouble-making (scaredy -) cat named Olive.

I grew up on a horse farm riding Quarter Horses in 4-H. Fortunately, I have known since I was 4 years old that I wanted to be a veterinarian. I attended Virginia Tech for undergrad (Go Hokies!) and North Carolina State University for Veterinary school (Go Pack!).

I have been a general practitioner since 2017 while also working at shelters, rescues and emergency clinics. In 2023, I earned additional certification in Physical Therapy for dogs. In 2025, I earned my certification in acupuncture for horses and dogs, studying traditional Chinese veterinary medicine! The idea of treating the animal as a whole instead of just focusing on one joint or one medication resonates with me. I love working with owners and developing a treatment plan that is realistic and attainable for them.

So many of the people in my community live a lifestyle where they adventure with their dogs and cats. I wanted to create a way for them to get accessible veterinary care. With the shortage of veterinary professionals with the rise of pet-ownership, I understand how hard it can be to get into the vet. I am here for your peace of mind!
