Annual Exams ARE For The Birds!
Birds are very skilled in hiding signs of illness. Often times when we first notice signs they are not feeling well, they have actually been sick for a few days. In the wild, birds socialize in flocks and are generally prey species. In order to survive, they must act normally so they do not get cast out of the flock and become more susceptible to predators.

Professional Interests
Internal medicine, surgery, preventative care, behavior, and emergency medicine
Personal Interests
At home, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, which would not be complete without the many pets that share our home. My hobbies include traveling, exploring nature, and listening to music. I hope to someday see more of Madagascar than the airport
Education
DVM, Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. Bachelors of Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel HillHow I Got Here
I started in the veterinary field raising orphaned opossums, which led to more traditional work as a kennel assistant in a local small animal clinic and then to training as a technician in an emergency clinic. In school, I focused on emergency medicine and small animal/exotics. I joined Pender after graduation, working in emergency medicine for all the species that are seen here. After a few years, I expanded my focus to preventative medicine and surgery, allowing me to build lasting relationships with pets and their owners.
