Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice & In-Home Euthanasia

Growing up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I felt compelled to become a veterinarian because I had a passion for science and believed we are blessed to have pets in our lives. In many ways, they are too good for us, and I wanted to thank the universe for allowing us the joy and love of having and caring for pets.

I attended DePaul University in Lincoln Park, Chicago, for my undergraduate degree and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine for veterinary school. I spent my clinical year at the University of Illinois.

The human-animal bond is one of the purest expressions of love I’ve seen. Being a veterinarian allows me to experience that bond and contribute to its longevity. I consider this a privilege and a great accomplishment. 

I have worked in private and corporate practice and shelter medicine, but I most enjoy surgery and preventive medicine.

I had to say goodbye to my Australian Shepherd mix, Tiger, in late 2023. The arrangements for that final day were as perfect as possible thanks in large part to my position as a veterinarian. I want to help all families say goodbye in the absolute best way for their pets and the people who love them.
