Welcome to my corner of the internet!

I'm a small animal veterinarian originally from Ohio and a graduate of Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine. I've spent the past decade working in small animal general practice.

I started Relief Vet Solutions to provide experienced, reliable veterinary coverage to hospitals throughout the Chicago area. I'm comfortable stepping into established hospital teams, adapting to different workflows and protocols, and managing everything from routine appointments to complex and urgent cases.

My goal as a relief veterinarian is simple: provide high-quality medicine, maintain thorough medical records, support the hospital team, and leave my cases well managed at the end of the shift.

Outside of veterinary medicine, I'm an avid scuba diver and active member of Chicago's Latin dance community. I organize and host bachata events and workshops, including bringing international artists to Chicago. At home, I spend plenty of time with my two cats, Leo and Frankie.
