Every day I get to wake up and go to the greatest job in the world. I loved growing up in a house full of animals and found I connected with them deeper than most. I want every client to feel like they are empowered to take the best care of their animal so they can live long, healthy lives together. My undergraduate education was completed at Georgia Tech, followed by veterinary school at the University of Georgia. I have a special interest in preventative medicine, dentistry, and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. My wife and I have two small boys, Teddy and Leo, and two lazy cavaliers: Charlie and Noodle. Outside of work, you can find us at a local brewery, relaxing at the lake, or playing at the park.

She looks forward to building lasting relationships with patients and clients at Dearborn. Outside of work, she enjoys art, thrifting and spending time with her cat, Shoko.
