Personal Hobbies and Interests
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, gardening, and playing video games. I also love spending time with my family and relaxing with a good show or anime.
At home, I have a full house of pets, including my dogs Enzo, Nova, and Zaley, as well as my cat Zero. They keep life busy but fun.
Favorite Part of My Job
My favorite part of my job is working with animals and continuing to learn more about veterinary medicine every day. I also really enjoy surgery and being involved in procedures where I can directly contribute to a patient’s care and recovery.
Why I Chose This Profession
I chose veterinary medicine because of my passion for animals and my interest in fields like exotic medicine, wildlife rehabilitation, and conservation. I’ve always been drawn to helping animals in all settings, and this career allows me to make a meaningful impact while continuing to grow my knowledge.

Professional Background
I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) with experience across a variety of settings, including emergency medicine, general practice, and zoological care. Working in these different environments has allowed me to develop strong technical skills, adaptability, and a broad understanding of animal health.
I have a particular interest in surgery, as well as exotic animal medicine and wildlife care. My time working with a wide range of species — including during my experience at the Detroit Zoo — has helped shape my approach to patient care and broadened my perspective within veterinary medicine.
Since joining Harvey Animal Hospital in 2023, I’ve enjoyed sharing my knowledge and experience with the team while continuing to grow my own skills. I value collaboration and am always looking for ways to support both my coworkers and the patients we care for.
