I was born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska. My love of horses began at a young age when I was extensively involved in a local 4-H club. While completing my undergraduate degree, I spent my summers working with muskoxen, caribou, and reindeer at a Large Animal Research facility where I developed a keen interest in neonatal care. I obtained my DVM from Colorado State University and was a member of the University of Alaska Fairbanks – CSU collaborative program, which allowed me to spend my first two years of veterinary school at home in Fairbanks before moving to Colorado to complete my clinical years. While in vet school, I spent a summer working in Littleton’s intensive care unit as a veterinary student assistant. This experience fostered my love for equine emergency and critical care. I am so excited to return to Littleton as a DVM and to work with such an incredible team!
