I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest with a history of always wanting to work with animals since the 2nd grade. I grew up with multiple beautiful cats and my childhood dog, a cocker spaniel/terrier mix. In high school, I volunteered at multiple vet clinics. Then, in college at OSU, I volunteered at a humane society in Corvallis.

I ventured out to test the waters of graduate school but through my experiences at OSU, my heart took me to Veterinary Technician School at PCC after receiving my bachelors degree in Animal Sciences. Now, I have worked in the clinic setting for 12 years and a CVT for 9 years. I have stayed in general practice through my career.

I absolutely love the connection that is built with patients and clients in general practice and the variety of medicine is very exciting for me. In my free time, I am a mom of a two year old boy who keeps me and my husband very busy. We love to take family vacations to the beach, camping and lots of time at local parks. I am also a home body that loves to read. I am thankful and excited to be working at this power house veterinary clinic.
