Hi! I’m a first year veterinary student at Oregon State University with a strong passion for animal care and years of hands on experience working with pets of all kinds. Before starting vet school, I worked as a veterinary technician at VCA Animal Hospital, where I gained valuable clinical skills and became comfortable administering injectables, giving oral medications, and providing attentive, high quality care to every animal I worked with. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own: prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. I grew up with both dogs and cats, so being around animals has always been a huge part of my life. While my schedule in vet school doesn’t currently allow me to have pets of my own, dog walking and pet care gives me the perfect opportunity to still spend time with animals and helping pet owners feel confident that their beloved companions are in caring and capable hands.
