Ever since childhood, I’ve been captivated by animals and the sciences—biology and music shaped my early academic path. After earning degrees in both music and biology, I spent time conducting ecology research and even freelanced as a professional French horn player. While studying parasitic diseases in wild birds, I delved into veterinary literature and discovered my true calling. Today, as Medical Director at PCAH, my heart lies in surgery and dentistry—there’s nothing more rewarding than transforming a sick or injured patient into a healthy, happy one. I thrive on learning every day, collaborating with colleagues to solve complex cases, educating pet parents, and mentoring the team. Guided by the belief that “everyone is doing the best they can,” I approach each case—and every person and pet—with compassion, creativity, and an open mind. Outside the clinic, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors with my husband, daughter, and our two dogs.
