I was born and raised here in the Pacific Northwest, I grew up spending most of my time outdoors and developed a love for animals at a very early age. Looking back on my childhood, our family pets were some of the best friends I’ve ever had and for that reason it only felt natural when I decided to turn my career towards animal welfare. After spending two and a half years living on Maui working for the local Humane Society, I developed some close friendships with the vet techs that worked there. Of course, these friends were very supportive when I decided to return home to Portland and start my career in veterinary medicine. Working here at Northwest Neighborhood while planning to continue my education as a tech is a dream come true. I feel so blessed to be working with such an amazing crew of dedicated animal lovers. In my free time you can find me diving into a new art project or wandering around the city enjoying all the quirkiness Portland has to offer.
