What Made You Choose This Career: My first pet was a kitten named Fuzzy. I adopted her when I was 5 years old. From that point on, I wanted to be a Veterinarian!

Favorite Pastime: Ultra Marathons and Horseback Riding/Ride n’ Tic
Do You Have Any Pets: Parsley, a 2-year-old Husky Mix, who loves to run with me. And Pika, a 15-year-old Jack Russell Terrier who loves hiking. Additionally, I have 2 cats named Fezeywig and Yosee, plus my retired pony Poppy!
My Favorite Book: The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera, and My Favorite Movie is Casablanca.

1 Piece of Advice I Share With My Clients: Enjoy every moment you have with your pets…
Favorite Quote About Animals: “Humanity’s true moral test, its fundamental test…consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals.” Milan Kundera. Also, “No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle.” Winston Churchill
What Has Been The Most Rewarding Part of Your Career: I worked in Shelter Medicine, and in addition to treating countless strays for heartworm disease, I was fortunate to be able to actively participate in the incredibly rewarding process of helping at-risk animals find new homes.
Since joining Bayshore, I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to work with a wonderful staff that shares the common goal of providing the best possible care and compassion to our clients, and the pets they love!
