I am a 2011 graduate of Colorado State University and have practiced in rural Montana ever since. I am deeply committed to trying to help all species of animals in rural communities receive progressive veterinary care and at the very least receive basic and primary care. I am an enthusiastic proponent for getting as many animals spayed and neutered to decrease the number of unwanted and uncared for animals in northeast Montana, especially on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation. While it is ideal to aim for the gold standard, I firmly believe that perfection is the enemy of good. Animals deserve basic care under all conditions. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time riding and working with my 7 horses, playing fetch or going for a walk with my 4 dogs or meeting the beck and call of my 2 cats. I also enjoy traveling and cooking.
