What do you love most about working at Midwest?
My favorite part about working at Midwest is the mentorship and endless opportunities for growth. 

What are some of your hobbies?
I love to travel internationally and I am a major foodie! I love to try all the favorite local spots.

Tell us about your pets and family.
My family is from Maine and I grew up with a younger sister and two parents that always had room in their hearts to open our house to more animals. We had a cat named Cece who lived to be 23 years old, a beloved dog named Shea who was the very best girl, a green-winged macaw named Duke, two guinea pigs named Jerry and Louie, and a bearded dragon named Blitz. My husband and I now have two rescue dogs named Addie and Hazel!

If you could be one animal in the world, what would it be?
I would be a dolphin because I have always been drawn to the ocean and marine life. They are the reason I pursued a career in veterinary medicine.
