For as long as I can remember I have loved
animals. Even as a little kid I would bring home strays so my mom
could fix them up and make them better. My first veterinary job was
at the age of 15; I volunteered at my local vet, cleaning cages and
walking the dogs. Every summer after that I would work as a tech
assistant, doing everything from scooping poop to monitoring
anesthesia.
I attended The College of New Jersey, and in1997 graduated with a
Bachelor’s degree in biology. From there I went to the University
of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. In 2001, I graduated
and spent the first three years of my professional life at a
practice in north NJ.
There are so many things about veterinary
medicine that I enjoy. It’s great to see brand new kittens and
puppies come in for their first checkups, or to witness a very ill
patient finally turn the bend and recover. Working up complex
medical cases is another enjoyable challenge. One of the things
that was a pleasant surprise to me was how many great people there
are out there. It is amazing what people will tell you during an
office visit! I see mainly cats and dogs, although I do count
rabbits, ferrets, and assorted rodents among my patients.
My husband Dennis and I live with 3 cats -
Monster, Sebastian, and Smudge - and a tarantula named Rosie. We are the parents of a 2 year old boy, Anthony, who keep us entertained.
In my "spare time," I enjoy gardening, dollhouse miniatures, and music.
