I Graduated from High School in 2014. I originally wanted to be a massage therapist, as I was set on doing something that benefits others. After a few emergencies with my cat Marvin, I soon realized that maybe my calling  was to help animals. I have always been an animal lover, walking neighborhood dogs for free as a kid and offering cat sitting for just 5 dollars a day. When my family got our first dog I was SO ready to train him and make him the best dog he could be. I decided to start my assistant/tech journey at a local clinic. There I learned the basics of restraint and how to work in high stress/fast paced environments. I wanted to advance my skills further and decided to take the position with Lakeside. Rose (may she enjoy her retirement!)  was my mentor and it was the best thing that ever happened to me! She taught me so much. I loved being able to work closely with the patients and get the hands on training I wanted. I took a year off after I gave birth to my daughter and came back because I love this clinic.

 In my spare time I hike with my daughter, bake and love to hula hoop. I have three fur babies and they are all the sweetest boys. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and offer the best care I can!
