I earned my veterinary degree at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in 2014. I am interested in lameness, physical rehabilitation, and diagnostic imaging. My certifications include being an equine rehabilitation practitioner and performing animal chiropractics. I am currently working toward board certification with the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation.
My passion for horses took off when I started taking riding lessons at a barn in Naperville, Ill., as a child. I competed on the local Hunter/Jumper circuit and worked in the barn to offset the costs of lessons and training. After working with sport horses competing at a national and international level, I began to have more of an interest in helping to rehab the injured horses than in riding and competing, so I decided to become a veterinarian [citation].
