Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice & In-Home Euthanasia

I grew up in Arnold, Missouri, just south of St. Louis. I have always considered this area home and am happy to serve the community I grew up in.

I knew I wanted to be a veterinarian from an early age. Animals have always been my passion, and being able to help them and their families is fulfilling to me. I also love the complexity of medicine and enjoy solving the mysteries our animals present us with.

I earned my bachelor's degree at William Woods University, where I double majored in biology and equine science. In 2018, I completed my veterinary degree at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine in Columbia, Missouri.

After veterinary school, I briefly practiced as an equine-only veterinarian in Kansas, but St. Louis called me home. When I returned, I spent six years as a feline-only practitioner and loved every minute of it. Cats are such a fascinating species and present unique medical and behavioral challenges. 

The birth of my son in 2025 called for yet another career shift. It was then that I decided to join Lap of Love and devote my skills and compassion to end-of-life care. This work is challenging and fulfilling. I enjoy helping families care for and say goodbye to their beloved pets in the comfort of their own home. It is such a gift to be able to provide that peaceful experience, and I'm honored to be welcomed into such sacred spaces.

In my free time, I enjoy riding horses, listening to music, reading, and spending time with family. We are blessed to share our home with three cats, Doodle, Finn, and Gideon, and our beautiful Great Pyrenees, Gracie.
