What you do at PAWS
Along with help from the Medical Team, I provide medical care to animals under the care of Centre County PAWS; including exams, vaccination and spay/neuter surgeries.

Thing most looking forward to doing at PAWS
I am excited for the potential of what a growing medical team means for the animals coming into PAWS. I feel like the possibilities for future growth of the team and the things that we can accomplish are endless!
Favorite thing about PAWS so far
How nice everyone is! Everyone has been so welcoming since my arrival.
Favorite thing about being a veterinarian
The variety of the day-to-day and the never ending learning. Medicine is always changing and learning new things all the time is exciting!
What you can usually be found doing outside of work?
Gardening! During the warmer months, I have an extensive vegetable garden in addition to a large cut-flower garden. During colder months, I’m usually tending to my ever-growing houseplant collection that has recently included aquatic plants.
What is your perfect vacation?
Anywhere on the water!
Anything else fun or interesting people might be interested in learning about you?
