Why Did You Choose This Career: In early Elementary School, we were asked what we wanted to be when we grew up. Veterinarian was my answer, and I never waivered!

If Not A Vet, What Would You Be: A Pediatrician

Family Info: I have 4 children, 2 sons and twin daughters!

Do You Have Any Pets? Kipp, a 1 ½ year old Golden Retriever male neuter. Indy, a 5-year-old Golden Retriever male neuter. Otto, a 13-year-old Doberman male neuter.

Does Anything make any of your pets unique? Kipp is a big, handsome Golden who was born with no tail! His different appearance, coupled with his warm and beautiful personality, made him a natural choice to become a certified Therapy Dog with Bright & Beautiful.

Things I Enjoy Doing In My Free Time: Running, Reading, Travel…My favorite trip was to a wildlife orphan rescue in Africa! And now that Kipp has completed his training, I truly love volunteering with him in Senior Homes, Hospitals, and Schools!

My Favorite (book, movie, song, etc): My favorite book is All Things Bright and Beautiful by James Herriott. My favorite song is by Lewis Capaldi…Wish You The Best.

Anything Else You’d Like To Share? One of my daughters is in school studying to be a Veterinarian… She attends the University of Pennsylvania …truly “following in my footsteps!”
