My inspiration to become a veterinarian dates back to childhood when I discovered the Pet Doctor Barbie Doll. Ever since I’ve had a love for animals and science, which has driven my passion for veterinary medicine. 

I earned my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2018, completing my clinical year at Purdue University. Before that, I received a Master’s degree in Integrative Biology from Wilfrid Laurier University in 2014 and an Honours Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto in 2012. During my studies, I also had the incredible opportunity to do an externship at the Toronto Wildlife Centre. 

While I have a particular interest in dentistry, I truly enjoy the variety of medical practices we engage in every day at the clinic.  

At home I have a dog named Bosco, a rescue from the Caribbean and a cat named Beans.
