I grew up on a farm in North Dakota so I was always surrounded by many different animals. I knew I wanted to make a career out of working with them someday. I moved to the Ft. Myers area over 12 years ago and have had many wonderful experiences working in small animal medicine, shelter medicine and even volunteering at Shy Wolf Sanctuary. My main passion in this field is surgery and animal behavior. I currently have 3 dogs and a bearded dragon at home and when I have free time I enjoy hiking, camping, and spending time with family.
