A life-long resident of the GTA, I graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph in 1994.

As a veterinary student with an interest in International Development, I lived and worked in Indonesia as a volunteer during the summer of 1992, and in Costa Rica during the summer of 1993. After graduating, I worked as a mixed animal veterinarian for two years, but wanted to experience an increased scope, volume and depth of companion animal medicine and surgery, and so I began my strictly companion animal veterinary career in 1996, and worked at a 24-hour, emergency and referral practice in Brampton until October 2004.

I received my small animal mobile accreditation from the College of Veterinarians of Ontario, and in November 2004, I started working at my own companion animal mobile practice full-time in the GTA, in addition to continuing veterinary locum work across Southern Ontario. It is my goal to continue to provide quality veterinary products and services to my valued clients and their pets through my mobile veterinary service.

I earned my master's degree in Epidemiology at the Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph in 2010 and have recently worked as a volunteer with Veterinarians Without Borders - Canada in 2008 and 2009, in order to conduct epidemiological research and help establish a canine population control program in Todos Santos, Guatemala.
