I grew up in the countryside around Caledonia, sticking my arms through the backyard fence to pet our neighbour’s lambs and spending weekends at the local horse barn. Since graduating from the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) in 2017, I’ve had the opportunity to work at many busy clinics throughout Southern Ontario before pursuing what would eventually bring me to Cambridge Veterinary Services (CVS) – my passion for veterinary dentistry and soft tissue surgery.
While pursuing my special interests in dentistry and surgery, I’ve taken several dental courses, spent countless hours honing my skills, been hired to teach these skills to fellow veterinarians, and even given talks on teaching dental skills at the OVC. I came to CVS in 2021 to provide high quality care for my patients, and together with my husband–Dr. Luke–took over ownership of Cambridge Veterinary Services in late 2023. We’re very excited about continuing to provide the excellent care and personal feel our clients are used to, while ensuring that we’re staying up to date with the advancements of modern medicine.
One of the best parts of my job (besides the obvious–wet puppy kisses and the sweet satisfaction of removing a painful tooth!), is building relationships with my clients through clear communication and client education. My mission is to reduce pain and suffering through preventative surgery and comprehensive dental care, and to help my patients live long, happy lives with their well-informed pet-parents at their sides.
Outside of work, you might find me enjoying anything related to science fiction or fantasy, working on my novel, or spending time outdoors with my family–including a dog, two cats, a small flock of laying hens, and one daughter who gets both more sassy and loveable by the day.
