I was born and raised in Central Jersey and graduated from Raritan Valley Community College with an associate's degree in business and a minor in accounting. With over 10 years of experience in the veterinary world, I now combine my love for animals and my educational background to support our clients and team as our Staff Supervisor. In my spare time, I love to cook, play video games, and spend time with my two cats, Chibbs and Crash.

I’ve always had a passion for helping animals. I’ve volunteered at a wildlife rehabilitation center since 2009 and been in the veterinary field since 2019. Outside of work I enjoy time outdoors, hiking with my dogs, fishing and spending time at the barn with my horse. 

I’ve been a dedicated veterinary technician since 1998, earning my CVT credentials in 2006. My early career included six years of specialized experience with exotic species, giving me a unique perspective on animal care. I’m particularly passionate about surgery, anesthesia, and pain management, and I hold a formal certification in pain management to ensure my patients stay comfortable.

When I’m not at the clinic, I love spending time with friends and family. I’m also a big fan of herpetology; I enjoy caring for my own reptiles and finding creative ways to keep them active and engaged.

My passion for veterinary medicine began with caring for my own dog and her litter. This early experience led to a diverse career, from managing exotic species in a commercial setting to my current clinical role. I now focus on small animal care and surgical assistance, where I enjoy the constant challenges and sophisticated nature of modern practice. Finding solutions for each patient's unique needs is what I find most rewarding about my work.
