I had wanted to work in the veteri­nary medi­cine field since a very young age. I got my start at a high school co-op place­ment and was hooked. Since then I have worked and volun­teered in many differ­ent facil­i­ties, includ­ing the Toronto Wildlife Center and Fort Erie Race Track. I attended the Univer­sity of Guelph to complete an Honours Bach­e­lor of Science in Animal Biology, grad­u­at­ing in 2017. From there I went to the Univer­sity of Guelph Ridgetown Campus to complete an Asso­ciate Degree in Veteri­nary Tech­nol­ogy, grad­u­at­ing in 2019 and became a Regis­tered Veteri­nary Tech­ni­cian that same year. 

Currently I am living in St. Catharines with my fiancé and 2 rat babies Gretchen and Spinelli. 

I feel fulfilled in my career when getting to know my patients and devel­op­ing a bond with them. I love the chal­leng­ing tech­ni­cal parts of my job like taking x‑rays, lab work, and monitoring anesthesia!
