Summary

At Animal Hospital of Waterville, I excelled as an Associate Veterinarian, specializing in internal medicine and able to perform emergency surgeries as well as provide care for exotics including pocket pets. Renowned for compassionate client communication and mentoring veterinary students, I fostered a positive atmosphere while adeptly managing critical care scenarios and promoting preventative medicine. I pride myself in building strong and authentic relationships with my clients and teammates. I also am a continual learner: always willing to do more research or hear other's thoughts without any insecurity, focusing on the goal of providing excellent medical care.

  • Assisted with emergency cases that required immediate attention, stabilizing critical patients before referral to specialized facilities when necessary.
  • Perform routine neuter and spay surgeries along with amputations, mass removals, biopsies, splenectomies, cystotomies, and exploratories
  • Provide care and enjoy working with pocket pets such as hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice, guinea pigs, and rabbits including spay and neuter surgeries.
  • Am comfortable running the clinic alone as the only doctor present which involves working with reception, doing emergency surgery when appropriate, managing scheduled appointments along with work-ins and emergencies as well as directing technicians in triage.

Interests

In vet school, I developed a specific interest in Internal Medicine I find great joy in fitting together the puzzle pieces of bloodwork, radiographs, urinalysis, and any send out tests to form a treatment plan that benefits and is workable for both the owners and the pet

Building positive relationships with clients is one of my deep passions I was once taught that if you successfully supported the owner and were there for them even if you ultimately could not save the pet, you did not fail I take that to heart and build long term relationships with my clients
