Customer Services Representative
I joined the Winrose team in 2020 part time while I continued my undergraduate studies at university. I have been passionate about the veterinary field since I was a little girl, and I hope to continue on to become a veterinarian myself in the near future.

At home, along with my family, I have one French Bulldog named Manolo, although my family says he is more my dog than anyone else.

I hope to accumulate multiple pets as I grow in the field, and to have the ability in providing the best care I can to my future patients as well as current patients at Winrose.

My interest in pets is more focused on a wide variety of dog breeds such as Mastiffs, French Bulldogs, German Shorthaired Pointers and Labradors.

I have also found a love for wildlife rehabilitation through volunteering at Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, and large animals through volunteering my extra time to large animal vet clinics.

In my spare time I love to hike, go to the gym, spending time with family and friends, playing soccer and heading out to the lake during camping season.”
