Born and raised in Wisconsin, I bring over 17 years of medical expertise to prioritize the well-being of our furry companions as the Hospital Manager at Portland Veterinary Wellness Center. My journey includes raising a family on a hobby farm with horses, cows, pigs, goats, rabbits, chickens as well as dogs and cats.  From my earliest pet, a mouse, to becoming an outdoor enthusiast, my connection with animals (and their humans) has shaped a lifelong passion.  In veterinary medicine and the scenic landscapes of Oregon, I have truly found my happy place.
