About Vet

I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 2020. Since then, I have spent over six years working across various clinical settings, including general practice, urgent care, and emergency medicine. This diverse background has shaped my approach to veterinary care, emphasizing the importance of clear communication and rapid, accurate assessment.

Why I Value Telehealth I believe that high-quality veterinary guidance should be accessible the moment a pet owner feels concerned. My goal in telehealth is to bridge the gap between "wait and see" and an unnecessary, stressful trip to the ER. I am passionate about empowering pet parents with the knowledge they need to navigate their pet’s health from the comfort of home.

Expertise in Triage & Care My experience in high-volume emergency and urgent care settings has made me an expert at triage. I understand the nuances of "red flag" symptoms and can help you determine if your pet needs immediate hands-on intervention or if we can manage their symptoms through at-home care and monitoring. I have a particular interest in internal medicine and diagnostic imaging, and I enjoy using that clinical lens to provide thorough, thoughtful consultations—especially for feline patients!

Life Outside the Clinic As a lifelong cat lover, I share my home with my partner, son, and three very spoiled cats—Boi, Hazie, and Theo—who fuel my passion for feline medicine. When I’m not assisting pet owners, you can usually find me traveling, ice skating, or relaxing with a great book or a new Netflix series!
