Drawing from 25 years in clinical practice, i am excited to be a part of Pet Coach and offer my diverse educational training in multiple species to this client-driven tool. I started out training dolphins before I decided to become a veterinarian so I have a very special love of all things aquatic- ask me about your fish or invertebrates! I've always practiced small animal medicine in the midst of all the special species work and believe in high quality practical medicine for every pet I see. I take a global approach to each case and pull together all details. I follow-up and am always seeking that solid, long-term relationship with pet owners and their pets so I can lead them in preventive health strategies. I'm a mom of a wonderful little girl and a dog-mom of a 5 pound Yorkie. I love yoga, horseback, and cuttlefish. Life in the Monterey Bay is just short of heaven!
