I am exceptionally good at getting lost, even in familiar places. With GPS.
How would you describe yourself in three words?
Compassionate. Driven. Positive.
Why do you love about working at Caring Hands?
I instantly fell in love with the warm, Caring Hands community. Everyone from the front desk staff to veterinary technicians and assistants genuinely cares about you and your pets. Collaboration amongst doctors is common, resulting in high-quality patient care. If anything happens to my personal pets or my family’s pets, I want them at Caring Hands!
What’s something about you that most people don’t know?
I didn’t realize that veterinary medicine was my calling until I was a junior in college pursuing a degree in economics. I couldn’t be happier that I made the decision to go back to school and work towards my veterinary degree. Also, I’m deathly allergic to fish!
