Ever since I was little, all I wanted was to be around animals. I used to persuade my mom to adopt every dog we met and she always did. My biggest dream in life is to own my own rescue farm.

At the age of 15, I started volunteering at a local grooming salon and shortly after with a local veterinarian. I have also volunteered with Protector’s of Animals and Dog Star Rescue. Growing up I always dreamt of becoming a Veterinarian but decided that I wasn’t quite ready for that commitment when the time came. Instead I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Central CT State University in 2014.

In 2015, I married my husband Chris and I couldn’t have asked for someone more accepting and patient. He never thinks twice when I go on my crazy rescuing adventures and bring home new animals. In 2017, we welcomed our first daughter Jade and in 2019, we welcomed our second daughter Madison. I can already tell that both my girls love animals as much as I do! The four of us live in our cozy but chaotic home with our three cats, Nala, Albus & Walter and our two dogs, Jovi & Buddy.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling or doing anything outdoors. I love getting outside and appreciating nature whether it is up in the mountains or on the water in a kayak.

I am very excited to be a part of the team at MVC and to be able to work along other animal enthusiasts. I am currently enrolled in a veterinary technician program and will be thrilled to assume that role when I graduate. Until then, I look forward to learning the other aspects of this field and growing with the company!
