When did you purchase HAH?
July 2025
Where am I From:
Most recently Denver Colorado. Native of and worked in NE Iowa prior to Colorado
Family/Pets:
Partner Richard (Electrician), retired greyhound Azule, and three horses.
Why did you want to become a veterinarian?
I was inspired by a family friend when I was in 4th grade. I truly never investigated other professions or vocations.
One thing you want pet owners to know:
Our professional goal is to enhance your animal/person bond by whatever means is feasible.
What is the biggest lesson you have learned so far from being in practice?
Listen to the client. Engage them. Show them how much you appreciate them trusting you with their pet’s care.
Ever have challenges as a vet?
Some pets are easy, others not so much. My current dog had significant behavior and anxiety issues when I first adopted her. You would never know that now.
If you weren’t a veterinarian, what job would you like to have?
Marine biologist, chemical engineer or boarding stable manager
What is something people would be surprised to learn about you?
I am afraid of squirrels. I collect and hoard sticky notes. I won a blue ribbon at the Iowa State Fair for my sourdough bread.
