About Me

I am a small animal veterinarian from the Chicagoland area that has been in practice since 2016. I graduated from Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine and went into private practice after finishing a year long rotating internship at the the Virginia Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. After working at a few practices in the suburbs and in the city of Chicago for a number of years, I struck out on my own in the summer of 2025 and formed Gentle Paws Veterinary Solutions, a realization of my ambition to be an independent practitioner.

In my free time, I enjoy engaging with my community, embracing my playful side, and pursuing hobbies such as dance, flow arts, and professional music mixing. I enjoy volunteering my medical knowledge and artistic skills and interacting with other artists at gatherings such as regional Burning Man events and music & arts festivals.
