Meet Our Veterinary Team

How long have you been practicing?
Since May of 2018.

What do you pride yourself in when it comes to veterinary medicine and/or taking care of your patients?
I pride myself in providing quality care for all of my patients and treating them as if they were my own. I particularly like working with dogs with anxiety due to my personal dog with anxiety, taking the time to work at their pace and earn their trust.

What do you like to do in your free time?
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and working our farm. We enjoy being outdoors with our cows and goats hiking all over the mountain. Our cats and dogs help keep me company while baking and cooking inside, especially when I am working on baking and decorating cupcakes or snuggled up reading.

How long have you been practicing?
Since 2002

What do you pride yourself in when it comes to veterinary medicine and/or taking care of your patients?
I try my best to make sure that owners understand what is going on with their pets. Owners who understand the “why” behind my recommendations are more likely to follow through with the care their pet needs.

What do you like to do in your free time?
Horseback ride, garden, downhill ski, read
