I have lived in the Tri-Cities all my life. I grew up on a farm in Benton City, so I was always surrounded by animals. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to work with animals as a profession.

I was born and raised in the Tri-City area. I decided to have a “little adventure” and spread my wings, so I moved to Spokane Washington. I lived there for 4 years and then decided it was time to come back home to the Tri-Cities to be close to my family again. My journey with Vista Veterinary began back in 2007 when I was hired as a receptionist. It has been a privilege being part of the Vista team and to get to know the wonderful clients and pets over all these years.

In my spare time I love to read, look for antiques, travel and spending time with family.

I graduated from WSU's College of Veterinary Medicine in 2007 Magna Cum Laude. I enjoy many hobbies including water sports, fishing, snow skiing, marine aquariums, and cars.
