I work at VESCONA because I enjoy the challenges that emergency medicine presents. In addition to the challenges, there is no better feeling than helping to save the life of a pet. My favorite animal is a cheetah. I’ve been fascinated by them since I was a child. Their speed and elegance amazes me. My dream vacation is going to Italy. I would love to backpack the Amalfi Coast and then taste all of the Italian coffees, wines and food!

I work at VESCONA because I have always wanted to be able to make a difference in both animals and human lives and by working at VESCONA I have the ability to do both. I can’t say that I have a favorite animal but I do love dogs and horses. If I got to travel anywhere for a vacation I would choose to go to Ireland for the culture and the environment.
