What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a practice that values evidence-based medicine, strong team collaboration, and clear client communication—where I can keep building diagnostic skills, support compassionate care, and grow into increasingly responsible clinical and research opportunities.

I’m a Tufts-trained DVM now working as an Associate Veterinarian, focused on delivering compassionate, evidence-based care for both dogs and cats. I bring a careful, diagnostic approach that starts with patient history, physical exams, and carefully selected diagnostics.

In clinic, I assess and manage diverse cases using lab work and diagnostic imaging to guide accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. I interpret hematology, chemistry panels, cytology, urinalysis, and radiographic studies, and I maintain thorough medical records to ensure seamless continuity of care.

I’ve also strengthened my clinical foundation through Tufts Clinical Rotations, where I managed cases end-to-end—from presentation to diagnosis and treatment execution—while communicating complex information with empathy and professionalism. I value clear communication that supports client understanding and compliance, and I collaborate effectively with veterinary technicians and client service representatives to coordinate efficient patient care.

Beyond direct patient care, I contributed to canine orthopedic research by designing and testing a canine-sized harness for Equinosis lameness monitors and presenting findings at Tufts Research Day. My earlier roles—including urgent care, small animal internships, surgical technician support, and radiology training with mentoring—reinforced my ability to work safely, think proactively, and optimize outcomes in fast-paced clinical settings.
