I was born in Portland and grew up in Beaverton. I have had a passion for animals my entire life, growing up in a house full of animals of various species! Throughout high school and college, I spent time working and volunteering at the zoo and wildlife rehabilitation centers. I always knew I would have a career with animals, but I had a specific interest in veterinary care. In 2016 I graduated Oregon State University with a Zoology, Pre-Vet degree and started working in a clinic setting a few months later. I was fortunate enough to join the team here at NWNVH in December of 2023. In my free time, my husband and I enjoy being outside with our golden retrievers, camping, hiking, or just hanging by a river, we love spending time with good friends, enjoying the great restaurant and bar scene of Portland!
