Natalie started in Veterinary medicine in 2000. Prior to being in the veterinary 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 has the goal of becoming friends with every one of them she meets. Natalie currently shares her residence with her significant other and an Orange Tabby named Tribble (as in Star Treks "Trouble with Tribbles"). In her spare time, she crafts, hunts, and works in an Oyster bed in Netarts Bay.
