I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, and my love of animals started early. Growing up, I often visited family in Montana, where I enjoyed caring for their horses and other pets. During one of my longer stays, I took my first job as a kennel attendant at a local clinic, where I learned the foundations of animal care.

When I returned to Portland, I began working as a receptionist at an ER Animal Hospital, quickly gaining hands-on experience in veterinary medicine. After several years, I stepped away to run my own pet-sitting business, providing personalized care to a variety of furry clients. Now I’m back in the clinic, and I’m excited to reconnect with the veterinary community and continue helping pets and their owners.

I have a special place in my heart for geriatric pets, inspired in part by my own elderly puppy at home. When I’m not at work, I stay active training in Muay Thai, and I also enjoy creative pursuits like drawing, painting, and crafting.
