After graduating from the Medical Institute of Minnesota in 1989, I worked as a Certified Veterinary Technician for 10 years at a number of animal hospitals which included Bass Lake Pet Hospital. I left the veterinary field and worked in the medical device industry for over 20 years. A layoff prompted me to do some soul-searching. I found my heart yearning to work with animals again. I decided to follow my passion and I’m happy to be back at Bass Lake Pet Hospital again. In my spare time, I enjoy camping, kayaking, gardening, and nature walks. I live in NE Minneapolis with my cocker spaniel named Joey.
