In the field since: 2003

Owned by Soldier, a vast wild thing found roaming the woods and a pet momma to many furbaby angels.

What I love most about what I do:  The Pets, The Clients, Our Team! The Pets: I've got a soft spot for the big dogs. I also love working with dogs that may be scared or act aggressive when coming to the vet's office - with the proper handling, it is rewarding to watch them learn to trust us. I love educating people on the importance of preventative medicine. So much of the heartache could have been prevented, but people did not have the information they needed. The Clients: I like working with people in challenging situations to find the best solution. I love getting to know the people that come through our doors! We have some of the most fascinating and heartwarming clients, and I have immensely enjoyed getting to know everyone over the last decade (it is hard to believe Davis is already 10!). Our Team: As we get ready to open up a new facility that I have poured my heart into the last few years, I am brimming with excitement for what we are going to be able to offer not only the pets and people of Pensacola but also what we are going to be able to do for our team. Our team is comprised of huge-hearted individuals who give everything they have to this profession. This new, larger facility is designed to provide my team with a place to practice medicine to its fullest, with many bonus features designed just for them. I am so proud and humbled to lead them, and I hope I can continue to improve and enrich their lives as they have done for me.

Who I am when I'm not at Davis Animal Hospital: a New Hampshire native, a fun-loving wife, and a mom to two kids. I love camping, gardening, paddleboarding, riding horses, goofing off, and spending time with my family. Together, we enjoy the outdoors and traveling to find new adventures. We love our church, the beach, watersports, hiking, and visiting with our widespread family. I'm an avid fitness geek passionate about the Davis Fitness Challenge we sponsor for our staff each year (no excuses this year - our new facility has a staff fitness center!)

You would be surprised to know that: Coffee runs in my veins. You could win me over pretty easily with Mexican food and ice cream. I've taken up a unique hobby of trying to rear queen bees with a VSH trait to increase the health of our hives. I love opossums and the color teal. I have more photos of my dog on my phone than anything else. I am more afraid of a kitten acting mean than a 180-pound snarling Rottie!
