Why did you choose veterinary medicine as your career path?
Animals have always been an important part of my life. I wanted to have the opportunity to help other people and their animals.

If you could give one piece of advice to pet owners, what would it be?
My advice to pet owners is this: don’t give your pet people food!

Tell us about your pets.
I have 3 dogs named Bocephus, Billy, and Clover, 2 cats named Socks and Boots, and 2 horses named Sertoman and Dixie.

If you could be any animal in the world, what would you be and why?
I would be a sea turtle; it would be fun to swim around the tropical waters.
