Overview
After completing my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at Colorado State University, I pursued further training through a one-year small animal rotating internship at Texas A&M University. My expertise primarily revolves around dogs and cats, although I also have a passion for exotic species such as rabbits and native Hawaiian birds. When I'm not providing care for animals or spending quality time with my two adopted dogs, I enjoy indulging in my hobbies of hip-hop and ballet dancing.
