HOW I GOT HERE

I grew up surrounded by animals and quickly discovered a deep love for them. At 13, I began volunteering at a wildlife sanctuary and working as a kennel assistant at a local veterinary clinic - these experiences confirmed my desire to pursue a career helping those who need it most. After spending time inland for college, I’m happy to be back on the East Coast. I’ve been fortunate to learn from many great mentors throughout my education, and I’m excited to continue growing with the team at Pender Veterinary Centre. My professional interests cast a wide net, and I can’t wait to meet your furry, feathered, and scaly family members.
