About Vet

My professional career has been quite a journey. I grew up in Washington State, and eagerly traveled to the Caribbean to attend Ross Veterinary School. I ended at Purdue University for my clinical rotations where I received the Veterinary Clinical Sciences Award for Exceptional Clinical Proficiency.

Since then, I've been practicing Veterinary Medicine in small animals as an associate doctor, and work as a relief Veterinarian at the local emergency clinic. My specialties are general medicine, nephrology (kidneys and urinary tract) and dermatology (skin, ears, hair, nails).

I was so worried about my kitties having a respiratory illness and Dr. Tilley was extremely helpful and understanding! She not only prescribed antibiotics but gave me numerous tips and advice on their long term health! Truly the best:)
