Ever since I was a child, I’ve wanted to be a veterinarian. I’ve always had cats growing up and can’t picture a day without one. My decision to become a veterinarian was solidified when I had to rescue a stray kitten that was hit by a car. This was the day before I moved away for college.
My love of exotics and birds came from my experience from working with Dr. Kenneth Welle. I have worked with him for a number of years and realized how hard it is for exotic animals to receive veterinary care. I strive to provide excellent medical service that these non-traditional pets deserve.
