I began my journey with a great love of all animals, I grew up living on a farm with horses. As I got older, I would love helping my dad take care of the horses as well as all the farm duties. Living in Ontario, I was the client with many pets (dogs, cats, and rats) and many trips to the vet clinic. I began to admire what the technicians did and how they treated my pets like their own. I thought to myself, "I would love to do this for a living."

I started working as a veterinary assistant at the clinic where all my pets went in 2007 and started tech school in 2008. I graduated in 2010 from Georgian College in Ontario. Every time I came to Nova Scotia to visit family, I would drive by PetWorks and think, "I would love to work in that facility, it's so big and fancy!".

My interests include surgery, anesthesis, and radiology and of course #1 is patient care. It is so rewarding when a really sick or injured patient comes in and we come together as a team to make that patient better.

In my spare time, other than being a wife and a mother of three beautiful girls, I love running with my two dogs Luna and Benny and fitness training, and travelling. I have rescued all 4 of my pets. My Two dogs and two cats Blair and Stripe. My first family pet was a little Pomeranian Poodle cross named Pepsi.
