I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia and stayed close to home for both college and veterinary school, attending the University of Pennsylvania for undergrad and then continuing on to earn my VMD at PennVet. During vet school, I developed strong interests in dermatology, oncology, and internal medicine.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me exploring new restaurants, reading, playing board games with friends, or heading out for a run. I’m excited to join the team at Friendship Hospital for Animals and begin this next chapter of my career as a veterinarian in DC!
