My love of veterinary medicine began in 1995 when I started working as a kennel assistant at White Oaks West. I love meeting new people, helping their animals, and the anticipation of never truly knowing what will walk through the door. I love the animals, I love the challenge of a difficult case and most of all, I love being a part of the amazing relationships people and their pets share. I love working at White Oaks West because all of the staff: veterinarians, technicians, and receptionists, share the same goal: to provide the best preventative medicine to pets to allow them and their owners to share their bond as long as possible. 

My husband Nate and I live on our farm in Mason City IL. We have two gregarious and energetic boys, Wyatt and Emmett , and 2 dogs: Major and Lt. Dan, both Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I love spending time with my family, cooking, attempting a garden, and working out.
