I grew up on Long Island, NY and attended University of Delaware for my undergraduate studies. I earned my DVM from Iowa State University and then went on to complete a 1 year rotating internship at Texas A&M. I am interested in small animal surgery and I am excited to continue my training at
Friendship!

Outside of work, I enjoy fishing, spending time with family and friends, and hanging out with my dog, Squid.
