I have always had animals in my life. My Mom
grew up on a dairy farm in Iowa and wanted to keep
some of that connection even though we lived in a Chicago suburb. We had chickens,
rabbits, geese, ducks and cats at our house in
(unincorporated!) Countryside. I began
competitively showing and riding Quarter horses at the
age of 6. I do not currently own a horse, but will
again, hopefully some day soon. My equestrian
background brought me to the University of Findlay in Findlay, Ohio
for my undergraduate work. I continued my
studies at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio
to complete my Veterinary medicine Degree. I am
passionate about the “investigative” part of
medicine-taking all the pieces of the puzzle and putting
them together to formulate a diagnosis and treatment
plan. I also love the surgical opportunities
veterinary medicine offers. The most rewarding
thing I find in veterinary medicine is educating the
clients and helping them understand what is going on
with their pet.
My husband and I have 3 daughters-Audrey, Hannah, and Madison-ages 9 months to 4
years. They keep us extremely busy,
entertained and are our most precious gifts.
Ziggy and Zoie, our two cats adopted from a stray mom,
and African cichlid fish complete our family. |
