I grew up in Pennsylvania and received a Bachelor’s degree in Communications from Shippensburg University in 2003. In my last year of college, I hand raised a litter of orphaned kittens. From then on, I was hooked! I kept one of the kittens and named him Calvin. I loved caring for him so much that a year and a half after graduation, I decided to pursue my love of animals and enrolled at Wilson College in Chambersburg, PA.
While at Wilson, I fell in love with sighthounds. When I saw Stewart, a white and brindle Whippet, it was love at first “sight”. He quickly became my best friend and heart dog and we were able to spend 11 years together. Also during my time at Wilson, I was fortunate enough to intern here at Kingsbrook!
I graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor’s degree in Veterinary Medical Technology. Throughout college, I worked at a mixed animal practice in Shippensburg, PA followed by a small animal practice in Gettysburg, PA until I re-joined the Kingsbrook Team.
I have Buckley, a Galgo (Spanish Greyhound), Burley, a Bernese Mountain dog, Sasha Fierce and Sullivan, whippet mixes, and cats- BenjaminFranklin (all one word) and Rhonda. They are all rescues!
I am very fortunate to have found my way back to such a progressive hospital with a compassionate and hardworking team.
