I am passionate about all animals, including small pets like hamsters and guinea pigs. Their husbandry is very important to me, and I enjoy doing the work it takes to help them thrive. I also enjoy the ecosystem maintenance that comes with fishkeeping, and currently maintain 2 tanks. I have two southern transport dogs who I love spending time with. Favorite activities with them include hikes in the woods, swimming at a local pond, and every once in a while, sharing a couple chicken nuggets.

I arrived at Manchester Veterinary Clinic in 2019, following a growing interest in the veterinary field. I attended New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester, New Hampshire where I received a bachelor’s degree in fine arts photography and helped found a number of student clubs and organizations, including a gay-straight alliance and a gaming club. Animals have always been my passion, and this was reflected in my school portfolio, where I developed multiple fine art series about shelter pets and city-dwelling animals. I worked at Pet Valu in Vernon for a few years, where I really enjoyed talking to pet parents and meeting lots of new animal friends.

When I’m not working with animals, I enjoy seeing plays and musicals. Theater is a big part of my life. I also love to play board games and tabletop games with friends in my spare time.
