What is your favorite part about working at Midwest?
The all encompassing care we are able to provide thanks to our excellent medical center, boarding, daycare, grooming, and mobile veterinary unit.

Why did you choose veterinary medicine as your career path?
A love for animals and a desire to advocate for them has guided me from an early age toward a career in veterinary medicine. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working across a range of settings – from veterinary clinics and dog training to wildlife rehabilitation – each of which deepened my appreciation for the human-animal bond and strengthened my commitment to this profession. Veterinary school further reinforced my passion and equipped me with the skills and knowledge to provide the highest standard of care. Today, I find great fulfillment in partnering with pet owners to address their animals’ medical needs with compassion and in knowing that every visit contributes to both the health of my patients and the peace of mind of the families who cherish them.
