Sharon was made in Taiwan and grown in California. She misses the novelty of four seasons and milking cows through school, but is happiest in avocado country with family. She has worked with goats in Ghana, jaguars in Belize, dolphins in Mexico, rhinos in Indonesia, and plenty of starry-eyed students as an instructor for the university conservation medicine program. After her rotating internship, she worked as relief up and down the Cali coast before becoming a full-time emergency, then exotics… and now your integrative veterinarian. When not acquainting nontraditional creatures and traditional Chinese medicine with each other, she delights in creating enrichment devices for her tiny human in their tiny kitchen.
