If you don't know me yet, let me introduce myself a little. I was born and raised in Michigan and have lived in the Greater Lansing area for almost twenty years. I currently live in a neighborhood near the REO Town area of Lansing with my husband, two kids, two dogs, a cat, two rabbits, four chickens and some fish. We love Lansing and are committed to being a part of our community.

I graduated from the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine in 2013. After graduation I spend some time doing graduate research on the epidemiology of a cow virus (bovine leukemia virus). I enjoyed the research, but soon realized that I actually like people more than data and missed interacting with farmers and pet owners. So I quit my PhD program and went to work at a small animal hospital in south west Michigan. I loved that practice, the staff and other doctors, and my patients and clients there. They had a real heart for being a part of the community there and lived out that vision, but it wasn't my community. I was still commuting from Lansing. When it was time to move on, I set out to open my own practice in the Lansing area. And in the fall of 2021, I founded Neighborhood Veterinary Primary care with a vision of increasing access to the benefits of the human animal bond to all of our neighbors in the Greater Lansing area.
