I've been working at Walnut Grove Animal Hospital since May 2016.  Animals have always been my heart and soul! Working at Walnut Grove Animal Hospital is more than a work place - it's what I love, it's became my family & it's where I met my husband. I am an avid cat lover and as such, I have several that "own" me!

Animals have been my passion since I was very little. I grew up having & caring for all kinds of animals from farm and exotics, to wildlife. On my days off I enjoy spending time with my husband and all of our animal children. I have 1 horse, 2 dogs, 4 ferrets, multiple aquariums and other exotic pets.

I have been in the veterinary field since 1986, and love all the creatures big and small! I have a special interest in behavior and making your pet's visit as stress free as possible.

I was born and raised in Social Circle, GA. I have been working with animals, large & small, since 2015. As a young girl, I knew that I wanted to be in the veterinarian filled for all sizes! When I'm not in the clinic, I'm at my family farm with my Aussie mix Rusty, my horse Dutch, my pig Whiskey, 12 ducks & 2 chickens. In my spare time, you can find Dutch & I competing in barrel                                                                racing!

I have worked professionally with animals for 2 years I have been with Walnut Grove Hospital since March of 2021. I currently have my Pitbull, Lila, she is my best friend. Throughout my life I have had a variety of pets, such as, dogs, cats, goats, reptiles & fish. I can honestly say there was never a dull moment. They have brought me, and bring me so much joy. I                                                               love animals, so getting to work with them                                                         is a dream come true.
