Natalie started in veterinary medicine in 2000. Prior to being in the field, she was a small business owner.  Natalie is an advocate of the Fear Free Veterinary movement and is a Certified Fear Free professional.  One of her goals is to reduce the fear, anxiety, and stress for pets, their owners, and the PVWC team.

Natalie is a born and raised Oregonian with a passion for the outdoors. She has a deep love for Boston Terriers and the goal of becoming friends with every one of them she meets. Natalie currently shares her residence with her significant other, an Orange Tabby named Tribble, as in Start Treks “Trouble with Tribbles” & a longhair white cat named Shatner, after William Shatner (yes, Natalie is a bit of a Star Trek fan).  In her spare time she crafts, hunts, and works in an Oyster bed in Netarts Bay.
