  I grew up in the Bay Area before attending the University of Oregon for undergraduate studies. After graduating I returned to California and worked as an animal technician in several emergency and speciality hospitals. I attended UCDavis, receiving my DVM degree and graduating with honors. I entered a 1 year post grad rotating internship at VCA Sacramento Veterinary Referral Hospital where I received additional training in such specialties as internal medicine, critical care, cardiology, and surgery. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, hiking, travelling and spending time with my several furry critters. I enjoy working with pet owners to achieve the best outcome for their pets.
