I have been in veterinary medicine since 2013, working in Ukiah, San Francisco, and Sonoma County. I grew up in Ukiah and developed a passion for animals at a young age; my family always had a plethora of cats, dogs, chickens, and various other pets. I started my career in vet med in 2013 as a vet assistant at Yokayo Veterinary Center. I relocated to San Francisco from 2015-2020, where I cultured my skills, discovered my love for mentorship and orthopedic surgeries, and advanced my career as a head tech. 

Since moving back to Ukiah, I have worked at Yokayo Vet, various hospitals in Sonoma County, as well as briefly dabbling in human medicine. I have been the Hospital Manager at Yokayo Vet since June, 2024. 

Outside of work I enjoy cooking, crocheting, and mixology. I enjoy taking day trips, attending concerts, and cycling with my boyfriend, and being lazy with my two kitties, Annyong and Jack.
