I have been with VCA Pahle Animal Hospital since 2009 and in the grooming industry for 19 years. I enjoy working in a veterinary hospital because I get to see the positive impact we have on pets and their owners. I grew up in Columbus, Wisconsin with two older brothers and one younger one. One is now a teacher and one is a chiropractor in Hartford, Wisconsin. My parents still live and work in Columbus. My undergraduate work was done at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, and I graduated from vet school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I worked for a few years in Colorado before moving back home to Wisconsin. When I'm not at the hospital, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends [citation].
