I started working in the veterinary field over 30 years ago. I left to raise my children but returned a few years later. It's exciting to watch veterinary medicine change and grow, and I enjoy helping shape this practice to reflect our high standards of care and our love of pets. I especially love meeting new puppies and kittens, and watching the bond grow between pets and their families!   

In May of 2018 our hospital was acquired by VCA, a branch of Mars. With this acquisition we have the support of a great organization. VCA and Mars have top notch technology, CareClub wellness plan, and many other resources for our hospital and our hospital team, as well as our clients and patients.    

I am Elite Fear Free Certified, and I am proud that our team follows Fear Free standards to help pets with fear, anxiety, and stress. Our entire practice is Fear Free Certified.  

My own family consists of both two- and four-legged members. I'm lucky to be married to my best friend, Tim, and we have four adult children. We also have three cats, Cheddar, Miley, and Theo; and a mixed breed dog, Maggie. Cheddar is a short-haired orange tabby who loves kids and always wants to be the center of attention. Miley, our brown tabby, is in love with my husband and follows him everywhere. Theo is a brown tabby that enjoys bird watching and investigating. Maggie is a St. Bernard mix, and she is my love. She chose me as her favorite person and my love for her grows every day.  

When I'm not working or keeping up with the kids, I enjoy going for walks, reading and playing or cuddling with Maggie.
