I graduated from University of Wisconsin-Madison Veterinary School and worked in private practice for a few years. Then I found a passion for TCVM and completed the Acupuncture Certification course at Chi University. I enjoy trying to integrate Western and Eastern medical philosophies.

I strongly believe that owners know their pets better than anyone else. I see my role as a veterinarian is to present the medical information in an attainable way in order to empower owners to make the best possible decisions that fit within their values and limitations.

I live on a small hobby farm with my husband and two toddlers. We of course have a slew of animals both inside the house and out: dogs, cats, alpacas, goats, pigs, cows, and chickens. In the limited free time I have, I really enjoy doing crafts (crochet, quilting), playing with the kids, and being outdoors.
