Ontario Veterinary College 1996
When I graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1996, I was overjoyed to begin doing what I’ve always believed I was meant to do—help animals in need. Even as a child, I could always be found rescuing spiders, birds, and stray animals. My natural entrepreneurial spirit, combined with a deep passion for animal care, made clinic ownership a clear and fulfilling path in my veterinary journey.
I am deeply grateful that this profession has allowed me to grow both as a clinician and as a person. It has been an absolute pleasure and privilege to form so many lasting and meaningful relationships with the families and pets I’ve cared for over the years. Working alongside such compassionate and devoted families has brought me immense joy and fulfillment.
It’s truly amazing to see how much veterinary medicine has evolved since I first began practicing. I’m thankful for the incredible advancements in medical knowledge and technology that now allow me to provide individualized care plans tailored to each family’s unique needs.
When I’m not at the clinic—or cuddling with my two dogs, Dunkun and Alena, and my very demanding cat, Celine—you can usually find me at the cottage, or on the trails, ATVing or snowmobiling with my husband, Don, and our two sons, Bradley and Russell.
