Summary

I am a dedicated veterinary student passionate about providing compassionate care to animals and empowering pet owners through clear communication and education. I believe that strong client relationships are essential to effective veterinary practice, and I strive to ensure owners are well-informed and confident in their pets' care. With a solid foundation in veterinary science and hands-on clinical experience, I aim to combine my medical knowledge with empathetic communication to foster trust and provide the best possible care for every patient. I plan on practicing mixed-animal medicine, with the goal of ownership in mind.
