About Me

I am a compassionate veterinarian who enjoys working with pets and their humans to facilitate the best veterinary care. Outside of veterinary work, I enjoy rock climbing, skiing, hiking, stand-up-paddleboard, biking and painting.

June 2024 I am moved back to Portland, OR (after a 2 year stint in Orange County) with my loving partner Michael and cuddle-bug cat "Oofta" ("Oofta; Interjection. A mild expression of error, dismay, or concern (often in a comical sense)" - Wiktionary). We are thrilled to be back in the great Pacific Northwest!
