I was born and raised in Oak Ridge, NJ. I competed in gymnastics until about the age of 14, and in high school played Varsity Soccer and competed on a Ski Racing team. My dad was a veterinarian and I enjoyed shadowing and learning from him as I grew up. During college, I spent five weeks in Thailand working with wildlife and studied abroad for a semester in New Zealand. My pre-veterinary coursework was completed at the University of Delaware and I went on to Ross University for Veterinary school. My clinical year was completed at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.
I have a feisty oriental short hair cat named Reggie who was named after my favorite singer, Elton John. In my spare time outside of the hospital, I love being outdoors and camping, backpacking, skiing, and snowboarding. I also love going to concerts and sporting events or enjoying a good jigsaw puzzle at home. You will find me rooting for the Vegas Golden Knights in the winter, the Atlanta Braves during the summer, and the New York Giants in the fall.
