Veterinarian

I graduated from the Atlantic Veterinary College in 1996. I joined Westwood Hills Veterinary Hospital in January 2012.

I am interested in all aspects of veterinary medicine, especially the human-animal bond. I love working with clients and their pets and I also greatly enjoy working at Westwood Hills because of the amazing staff.

My first pet was named Finnigan, a cat I named after Mr. Dressup.

When not at work, I enjoy reading, skiing and living by the ocean.
