Her and her Husband, Sam, have three children — Sarah, Caleb, and Noah — all of whom love to come to the clinic and help out whenever they can. Their family shares their lives with a Pomeranian named Macy; Gwenie the Shih Tzu; a Standard Poodle who goes by Aero; and eight lovable cats.
Together, they purchased Old Dominion Veterinary Clinic in March of 2017. She has a special interest in dermatology work and loves to correct common and frustrating skin-health problems to give pet owners peace of mind. She also like soft-tissue surgery and feel extremely comfortable in the surgical ward due to her many years of performing spay-and-neuter surgeries in shelters!
