When I was six years old my parents allowed me to get my “very own” kitten. Penny was a sweet, beautiful little calico from a neighbor’s cat. But I only had her for a few months when she started to get sick. She was weak and wouldn’t eat, and then she couldn’t even walk and had to be put down. I found out years later that the vet thought she may have contracted Rabies. Fortunately the test was negative but we never knew what made her so sick. I knew even back then that I wanted to take care of animals. I grew up in the Midwest, mostly in northeastern Indiana. We had a small horse farm and I showed in both 4-H and the local Hunter Jumper circuit. Many of my friends also had horses and other livestock so I spent a lot of time out in the barn. I started my first veterinary job when I was 16, cleaning kennels and assisting with our family vet, Dr. Poppy. He was compassionate and creative, a leader and a jokester, and I thought he could fix anything. I knew I wanted to do what he did. I went to the University of Findlay for Pre-Veterinary Medicine, and received my DVM from The Ohio State University in 2004. I have worked at Southwoods Animal Hospital since the beginning of my career. I have two daughters who keep me very busy, but in my free time I enjoy reading, cooking, and spending time with my family. Our four-legged family members include two beagles, Lucy and Charlie, and one rotten cat named Mia.

When I was young, I wanted to play with every pet in the neighborhood! I was so excited when my parents brought home my very first cat, Pooky, and first dog, Murphy. Some of my favorite trips were to the veterinarian’s office where I learned all about my pets. Truly the best part was watching the impact that doctors had on both the pets and their owners. I was born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee and earned my Bachelor’s degree in biology at Middle Tennessee State University. In 2010, I moved to Knoxville, Tennessee to attend Veterinary school. Once I graduated with my doctorate, I knew I wanted to move further east to explore the opportunities that North Carolina had to offer. I also joined the United Sates Army National Guard in 2006 and am still a member. I have a strong interest in internal medicine and surgery, and I believe that providing insight for clients and being an advocate for all animals is the most important task. In my spare time, I love to play guitar and mandolin, participate in outdoor activities, and spend time with my friends and family, including my two cats, Moose and Oliver.
