I am originally from Belgium and moved to the United States 3 years ago after graduating vet school in Scotland. I completed my rotating internship in New York and then worked 2 years in Emergency. I developed a strong interest in surgery and decided to pursue a surgical specialty internship, which brought me to D.C. In my free time I enjoy cycling, hiking and exploring the city! I have a Yorkie Mix, a Tuxedo cat and a tripod Persian who are all loving their new life here in D.C.
