Hi, everybody! I was born and raised in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. I was blessed with wonderful parents that were very supportive and allowed me to build a strong bond with animals from a very young age. I've been practicing in the CSRA for the last 18 years and I get to call our wonderful town of North Augusta home. I currently have 4 dogs, one three-legged cat and a black-capped conure! I'm excited to be practicing back in North Augusta. Looking forward to meeting all of you and creating long- lasting relationships with you and your furry friends! When I'm not at work, you may find me walking my dogs on the greenway, paddle boarding on the river or spending time with my husband Jason.

I am a graduate of NCSU School of Veterinary Medicine. My interests are in canine sports medicine and general surgery. I enjoy mentoring pre-vet college students and teaching clients and their families about the health of their pets. I am a strong proponent of preventative medicine from puppy and kittenhood to senior citizen status. I look forward to meeting all our new clients and their wonderful companions. When not at work, you can find me gardening, hiking with my two Pembroke Welsh corgis or exploring the trails on one of my quarter horses.
