What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth and emphasizes animal welfare.

I am a passionate veterinary resident currently specializing in Laboratory Animal Medicine at the Tulane National Primate Research Center. My journey in veterinary medicine began with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from Lincoln Memorial University, where I developed a strong foundation in veterinary health science. My commitment to animal welfare and research drives my professional endeavors.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience through various roles, including a veterinary externship at Envol Biomedical and as a veterinary assistant at Upchurch Animal Clinic. I have actively participated in research, contributing to projects such as the EmVetNet Covid-19 Thematic Platform for Animal Welfare. My presentations at notable conferences, including the Association of Primate Veterinarians Annual Workshop, reflect my dedication to advancing knowledge in veterinary medicine.
