Share a few sentences about your professional background and what drew you to GeniusVets. 

I am a registered veterinary technician with specialties in internal medicine and pathology. My adventure in vet med has been incredibly rewarding ranging from internal medicine, emergency services, and hospice pet care to hospital management, client education course creation, and business consulting. My commitment to animal welfare (and those working in it) is a big part of my life, both professionally and personally. 

The culture, values, and dedication of what GeniusVets delivers to each client and pet owner is unlike anything I've seen before. The teamwork and leadership that surrounds the team are honestly brilliant.

What do you love about your role? If you're new to the team, what drew you to this specific role?

I've always loved client education and empowering pet owners. I think this along with understanding the heartbeat of what makes a veterinary practice alive is a really unique perspective I bring to the team. Working along with DVMs, creating content, and supporting hospital teams to showcase themselves is the ultimate trifecta!

Family Info

I love being the cool aunt to my nieces and nephews! They are the best!

My dog, Dex, is a hardheaded black mouth curr mix, who makes a pug nail trim look like a walk in the park! My gal, Roxanne, is my cat who thinks everyone wants to see her on Zoom, so be prepared.

Passions or hobbies outside of work

I love libraries! Cuddling up with a good book and a cup of coffee (or a smoothie) can't be beaten. I also enjoy music/ concerts, dancing, writing, entertaining, playing games, soccer with the family, and water aerobics.

What's the best advice you've ever gotten?

Appreciate what is happening right now in this moment.

What is one thing you've done that most people have likely never experienced?

I was taking blood from a rhinoceros, and he gave me a kiss.

Do you have any hidden talents or skills?

I'm a pretty decent piano player and stage lighting engineer (Hogs and Jands, if you know you know)!

On a Sunday morning, you'll find me…

At church, grabbing a coffee, reading a book, or catching up on some podcasts/ audiobooks.
