Our Veterinary Team Cactus Pet Hospital in Glendale, AZ

I grew up in Gilbert, Arizona. I attended undergrad at University of Arizona where I got a BS in Veterinary Sciences. I then moved to Fort Collins to attend veterinary school at Colorado State University where I received my DVM in 2019. Following graduation I moved back to Arizona with my partner, who is also a veterinarian. I spent the last four years working in corporate practice and am very excited to move away from that and back to family owned.

In my spare time I love to hike, travel, read, and cook anything I can on my smoker. During the NFL season, you will find me rooting on the Steelers during every game at a local bar. I have lots of fur babies at home. I have an English Mastiff, Terrier mix, four cats, and fish. My special interests include surgery (both orthopedic and soft tissue), pain management, geriatric care, and emergency medicine. I look forward to getting to know you and your lovely pets!

I was born and raised here in Phoenix, with lots of pets: dogs, cats, snakes and hamsters.  I moved to Pinetop, AZ when I was a teenager.  There I began my career in Veterinary medicine in March of 2000.  I have worked with all different kinds of animals in the past 22 years.  I have also taken many different continuing education courses on dentistry, anesthesia, fear free and many more.  I love my career as a pet nurse and treat all my patients like they are my own pet.
