I grew up on a farm outside Dawson Creek, BC where we had several horses, dogs, and cats. I started my post-secondary schooling by taking basic science courses at GPRC for two years. During that time, I began working as a Veterinary Assistant. While I enjoyed being an assistant, I wanted to have the skills and license
to do more. In the fall of 2021, I started the Animal Health Technology program at NWP which I graduated from in 2023. I have a special interest in large animals, emergency and shelter medicine, and behaviour.
My husband, Austin, and I currently have two Australian Cattle dogs, Zeus and Zelda. I would love to add a poisonous dart frog, but Austin’s not too keen on having anything “poisonous” in the house:(
In my free time, I enjoy reading, drawing, mountain biking, hiking, downhill skiing, and visiting with family and friends.
