What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to utilize my veterinary skills while fostering a collaborative environment focused on animal welfare.

As a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, I have dedicated my career to providing exceptional care for animals, particularly in small animal practice and emergency medicine. My experience as an Associate Veterinarian at Southside Animal Hospital has equipped me with the skills to perform thorough physical examinations, manage complex medical cases, and lead a team in delivering high-quality patient care. I pride myself on my ability to communicate effectively with clients and colleagues, ensuring that every pet receives the best possible treatment.

In addition to my role at Southside, I also serve as a Relief Veterinarian at Blue Pearl Pet Hospital, where I evaluate emergent medical needs and develop treatment plans for a variety of critical conditions. My background includes significant experience with both routine and advanced surgical procedures, as well as a strong focus on client education regarding preventative health. I am committed to staying current with advancements in veterinary medicine, which allows me to provide informed care and guidance to pet owners.
