There was never a time where we didn’t have animals in our house, from rabbits and hamsters to dogs and cats. I love the variety of patients that we see and the challenges that make my job so rewarding. The love of an animal always brightens my day! In my free time, I enjoy drawing, reading and walking outside. I love my barn cats and my Border Collie Mix, Daisy.
