Summary

With a foundation in the performing arts, I’ve built a versatile career spanning veterinary care, pet services, hospitality, education, and healthcare. Most recently, I’ve worked as a mobile veterinary assistant, supporting veterinarians with in-home animal care, managing client communication, preparing medical tools, and ensuring a positive experience for both pets and owners. My background as an actor and musician has sharpened my communication, adaptability, problem-solving, and teamwork skills—strengths I bring to every role.
