What are your career goals?

My career goals are to provide high quality health to our four legged family members while reducing the anxiety, stress and fear that comes with it. Ultimately making a positive impact on the lives of pets and their family.

What is your background and experience?

  • I started in the Veterinary field in high school, cleaning after hours and working part time as a kennel hand.
  • After graduating I worked a short stint at a small/large animal practice then moved on to a specialty practice.
  • I worked at Canada West Veterinary Specialists for 13 years, where I had the privilege of working in the Neurology Department for 12 of those years.
  • In 2017, my family and I moved up to the Okanagan for a more balanced life where we could spend more time outside and be creative. Here I started working as a part time/ locus at a veterinary clinic here in town.

When I’m not at work- sunny day?

  • In the summer hiking with the pups or mountain biking with my family ( including the pups).
  • In the winter, snowboarding or snowmobiling with my family, or cross country skiing with my mom and youngest son.
  • if not active then I’m creating a new woodworking piece.

What advice would you give a candidate who wants to join our team of superstars?

A positive attitude, an open mind and a good heart…. Oh and yes of course a lot of fun. The rest can be taught.
