I was born and raised on a small farm in Connecticut with every farm animal on it. I completed my undergraduate degree at University of Connecticut and majored in Animal Science. I went on to complete veterinary school at Midwestern University. As I’ve always said, “since I grew up with it all, I love it all.” That hasn’t changed since completing vet school, I truly love all animals. My special interests are surgery and international travel to work with wildlife. I never thought I’d end up taking a job in Arizona but being an avid hiker, I’ve fallen in love with the mountains here. I currently have a Swedish Vallhund, Cowboy Corgi, German Shorthair Pointer, and a Brittany that share in my adventures whenever possible. I’m looking forward to becoming part of the family at Chino Valley Animal Hospital.
