Why did you become a vet?

I fell in love with medicine during my early education. I loved the complexities, evolution, and challenges that it held. I was always learning something new. I have adored animals since I was a little girl, and our pets were family. When it came down to deciding a career path, there was no other option than becoming a veterinarian. My two favorite passions in one!

What do you love most about living in Memphis?

Memphis has so many possibilities. The outdoors, the events, the FOOD, and the people. I’ve lived in many different cities, and Memphis is just one of a kind

What secret talent do you wish that you had?

I wish I could speak every language. Growing up in a family that spoke different languages was very intriguing. I would love to be able to communicate with anyone that I may met anywhere in the world.
