Why Choose Me

Some of my most heartfelt childhood memories were shaped by animals. They brought moments of pure joy, deep sadness, and often a mix of both, leaving a lasting imprint on me.

That, together with my natural curiosity about how things work and my desire to improve and make a positive impact, drove me to veterinary school and later led me to pursue MS and PhD degrees.

 

I have worked in cattle operations, research positions in academia, and technology and research positions in industry, on diverse teams, and in independent roles. Today, I offer my time to you.
