I attended The Ohio State University for my undergraduate education where I completed my bachelor’s degree studying nutrition and animal sciences while working in an immunology research laboratory. After graduating I worked in a small animal emergency and specialty center in New York, where my passion for emergency medicine began. I completed veterinary school at Cornell University, and I hope to pursue a career in emergency and critical care medicine.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my dog, Jordan, as well as hiking, kayaking, figure skating, and reading. I am very excited to be back in the D.C. area and join the team at Friendship!
