Our Veterinarians

I joined the South Bay team as an overnight emergency veterinarian, eager to help your pets while the rest of the city is asleep! Originally from Kansas City, MO, I attended the University of Missouri for my undergraduate studies in Animal Science and continued my education at the University of Missouri-College of Veterinary Medicine. I am new to California, and currently loving everything about the weather, landscape, food, and people! My veterinary passions include emergency and critical care, pain management, surgery, and oncology. I also love hiking, kayaking, bass fishing, hot yoga, baking decorative desserts, and rollerblading with my Australian cattle dog mix, Lola (pictured), and my Australian shepherd, Bennett.

I graduated in 2012 from the Royal Veterinary College, London, and went straight into practice at a busy 24/7 hospital which also provided specialist services. It was here that my passion for surgery really developed and I started to perform key hole (laparoscopic) surgery. I am currently halfway through a postgraduate qualification in surgery to further my knowledge, improve my skills and to help your pets with the best treatment. I moved to San Jose with my husband, our then 6-week old daughter and our three dogs in May 2016 and have since had another daughter. I am so excited to join the team as a Veterinarian here at South Bay Animal Hospital and to bring my experiences from the UK to practice. We are loving life in California - particularly the weather! Other than caring for animals and my family, I love to be active, explore new places and creating in the kitchen.

Coming soon.
