Questions

What’s your favorite animal and why?

Sheep! During tech school, I spent a lot of time working with them and discovered how funny and endearing they are. Little lambs are especially adorable—they’re so playful and love to snuggle together in big, fluffy piles!
Can you describe a heartwarming moment you’ve experienced at the hospital?

One of the most heartwarming moments is when a sick patient finally starts eating again. It takes trust and comfort for them to reach that point, and knowing I’ve helped them feel safe and cared for makes it an incredibly rewarding experience.
What’s your pet’s name, and why did you choose it?

Our family has a goofy doodle named Geordie! She’s named in honor of my mom’s family, who are from Newcastle, England, where locals are affectionately called “Geordies.” It’s a name that’s full of personality—just like her!
What inspired you to work in this industry?

Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to work with animals. In high school, I had the opportunity to work at a veterinary clinic, where I discovered the role of an RVT. I was drawn to how hands-on and patient-focused the position is and knew it was the perfect path for me. As an RVT, I get to be an advocate for my patients and a voice for those who can’t speak for themselves—a role that brings me fulfillment.
What advancements in veterinary medicine are you most excited about?

I’m especially excited about the growing availability and knowledge surrounding companion animal rehabilitation. It’s an incredible resource for helping recovering patients regain mobility and return to their best selves. Plus, it’s fantastic for weight management and keeping pets active and healthy throughout their lives.
