After college and for the next 7 years, she worked in animal hospitals in many capacities such as assistant, receptionist, groomer, and tech. She then decided to complete her doctorate of veterinary medicine at Ross University, on the island of St. Kitts. Finishing her clinical year at Oklahoma State University, she returned to Long Island to practice small animal medicine. Since graduating in 2015, she has steadily worked in general practice and is excited to join our team. Her professional interests include internal medicine, surgery, and ophthalmology.
