What I do
I am a veterinary practitioner and writer located in Northern California who loves a good story and lots of miles on the trail. How many miles? My favorite distance is 100 mile events, whether on horseback or in a pair of running shoes. When I'm not on the trails, I can be found writing-- or reading-- my next favorite book.

My favorite distance is 100 mile events, whether on horseback or in a pair of running shoes. When I'm not on the trails, I can be found writing-- or reading-- my next favorite book.
My professional focus revolves around emergency medicine and surgery, and I am actively engaged in multiple clinics as a relief veternarian across Northern California. Beyond my clinical responsibilities, I devote my time to crafting educational content across various platforms and offering on-demand consultations to further pet owners' understanding of their animals' well-being.
