Born in San Angelo and raised in Tyler, I have been a native Texan my entire life. I am an only child and was raised on 10 acres of beautiful East Texas countryside, so my animals were my most cherished playmates. I have always known that I wanted to be a veterinarian. I spent every spare moment from the age of 12 shadowing at local vet clinics, and even went to vet camp for two summers during middle school. I wanted to spend all my time with animals and loved problem solving to figure out what was wrong when they were sick.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in animal science from Abilene Christian University and graduated from Texas A&M University in 2016 as a doctor of veterinary medicine. My first job out of vet school was in mixed animal practice in rural West Texas. It was challenging work and I learned a lot, especially how rewarding it was to serve people and their animals, and how personal that care felt when delivered in the owner's home setting during farm calls. After two years, we relocated for my husband's job to the Fort Worth area and then to the Austin area, where I worked in small animal general practice.
