Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice & In-Home Euthanasia

I grew up as an avid equestrian in the small town of Versailles, Kentucky. It was a family joke that I started riding horses before I could walk. I’ve always loved animals and knew I was going to be a veterinarian before I could pronounce the word. Instead of daycare, my father, who was also a veterinarian, would often take me to work. You could say I was raised around more animals than people!

I attended the University of Kentucky, majoring in biology, before attending Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. After vet school, I completed two hospital internships before moving to South Florida and falling in love with the ocean. I spent more than six years in the area as a general practitioner before joining Lap of Love.

As a veterinarian, my professional interests include acupuncture, soft tissue surgery, and hospice care. As a Lap of Love veterinarian, I am honored to be invited into a family’s life and home, to witness the beauty of the human-animal bond, and to share in their last moments with their pet. I find meaning in being able to relieve a pet’s suffering and support their dignified and gentle passing.

In my free time, I enjoy paddle boarding, baking, riding my horse, gardening, and snuggling up on the couch with my four dogs, two chickens, and cat. Sadly, the horse doesn’t fit on the couch.
