I was born and raised in Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada. My love for animals was always present and I’ve wanted to be a veterinarian from a young age. I was a first generation college student at the University of Nevada, Reno. I returned to Vegas after my studies, gained more clinical experience, and obtained my veterinary technician license. In pursuit of continuing education, I attended Colorado State University for my graduate studies afterwhich I stayed as a research associate in the CSU Flint Animal Cancer Center. I went CSU for veterinary school and completed my rotating internship and the Univeristy of Florida.
In my free time, I like to paddle board, make art, play pool, go to local music gigs, spend time with friends, and get cozy with my two cats – Jack and Bones.
