About myself: My focus while obtaining my DVM degree was in small and exotic animals. I’ve kept, shown, raised and basically spent my life with all types of animals and always knew that my life would revolve around the care of animals. My ultimate goal in my practice of veterinary medicine is to provide my furry, feathered, or scaly patients with the care and attention their guardians would expect for themselves. All my life, my home has been filled to overflowing with “little critters” of all types. As long as I can remember I wished to become a veterinarian and have worked towards that goal. I was fortunate enough to attend WSU where I completed my bachelors in veterinary science, graduating Magna Cum Laude. I also obtained my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from WSU where I was a member of the veterinary honors society of phi zeta and again graduated Magna Cum Laude. Since starting practice at Alta Mesa Animal Hospital in May of 2000, I’ve evolved from an associate position to the hospital’s Medical Director. In 2012 I married a wonderful man who is a practicing human pharmacist. I’m fortunate that my husband shares my passion for animals and understands my dedication to patient care. Purpose: This page was created as an extension of my long held web site and has now evolved to include my own Small & Exotic Pet Hospital in Gilbert, AZ. See www.littlecrittersvet.com
