I grew up in Washington state, and moved to Portland with my partner and my pack of critters in early 2025! I currently have four kitties and 2 dogs, but have had many different pets throughout my whole life! From Chinchilla to rats and even birds, fish and a turtle! I love all animals, but cats definitely have a soft spot in my heart. It has always been a dream to be a part of a veterinary team! I started in human medicine as a medical assistant in 2018 and explored all different kind of specialty practices, dermatology being my favorite! But have now fallen in love with pet medicine!

When I’m not working, I am out exploring Portland with my partner or searching for the best coffee shop! I am also a huge music lover and like to spend my weekends at a record store, or trying to catch a local band at one of our many great venues here in Portland!
