I am originally from Savannah, GA and I have wanted to become a small animal veterinarian since I was 9 years old. I am a graduate of the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine class of 2023 but I received my bachelor’s degree from Georgia Tech in 2019 (Go Jackets and Dawgs!). My interests include internal medicine and practicing the best patient care possible. In my clinical year at UGA, you could often find me completing paperwork alongside my patients in their kennel. Besides my love for animals, I grew up surfing on Tybee Beach and enjoy playing guitar and exploring Atlanta with my boyfriend. I have 1 dog named Benji who I absolutely adore.
