I am originally from New York, growing up on Long Island.  I studied veterinary medicine at St. George's University on the island of Grenada and finished at NC State for my clinical year.  I then went back to New York with my wife Sara to do an internship in New Jersey and worked as a general practitioner in Brooklyn and Queens.  We then moved to Gainesville Florida where my wife completed her residency as a veterinary cardiologist.  We then made our way  back to North Carolina to settle in Charlotte.  My favorite aspects of veterinary medicine include Neurology, Internal Medicine, and Dentistry.  When not working I enjoy hiking and kayaking, checking out restaurants and breweries, and spending time with my dog Maisy, and two cats Cinder and Daredevil

I grew up in Minnesota and completed my undergraduate degree in Animal Science at the U of M. I studied veterinary medicine at St. George's University on the island of Grenada and finished at NC State for my clinical year. After graduation, I completed a private practice ER & GP internship in Charlotte. My favorite aspects of veterinary medicine include preventative care, soft tissue surgery, and nutrition. In my free time, I love to either be outdoors, traveling/hiking with my husband, or inside reading with my cats, Peanut Butter & Tuna. 

I've been a member of the Uptown Vet team since January of 2018. In my free time, I enjoy playing guitar, baking things that are terrible for me, kayaking, and reading. My passion is caring for animals, and I will do everything I can to make sure your furry family members are happy and healthy!

Growing up in the beautiful state of North Carolina, with grandparents living on a farm, I had a foundation built on a deep love for animals of all kinds. According to my mom, I would bring home abandoned bunnies, frogs, insects, and anything else I found on my adventures. This passion made my career path a natural decision. Being a Veterinary Technician is my dream come true, and I am fortunate to continue my education here at Uptown Veterinary Hospital.  For fun, I enjoy every minute I can with my family: my husband, Brian, two Pitties, Diesel and Reggie, and two bunnies, Peaches and Melvin. I also love to garden, cook, bake, and craft. Above all, my time with family is what I cherish most.

Growing up in a rescue family, all I ever wanted to do was help an animal in need any chance I could. While going on my 4th year of Vet Med, I joined Uptown in 2020 of January, where I quickly learned a lesson that I still live by today - “ Slow progress is better than no progress!” Finding a career in Veterinary Medicine has been a lifetime goal of mine and I’m so happy to have found a practice that provides patience and teamwork. While not at UVH, you can find me binge watching shows with my dog, Raven, at hobby lobby or spending time with my nieces!! Except on Sundays, you’ll find me on my couch watching football with my Husband, Elijah!! (GO PANTHERS!!)
