Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice & In-Home Euthanasia

I grew up in Norman, Oklahoma, and have always loved animals. I had a special bond with my childhood dog who was a part of my life from the time I was 8 years old until I took my veterinary boards. My love for animals combined with a passion for science and medicine made veterinary medicine a perfect career choice. During high school, I spent time working at a rural mixed animal practice and was inspired by the veterinarians there, which solidified my decision to pursue this career path. 

I earned my bachelor’s degree in biology from Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania and received my doctorate of veterinary medicine degree from the University of Pennsylvania. 

I have enjoyed my time working as a small animal veterinarian for more than 20 years, 16 of which have been in the Boulder area. Having loved and lost several pets, I know how hard it can be, but also how comforting it is knowing that you made the right decision and helped your companion pass peacefully in a way that honors their life. 

I look forward to using my experience and genuine compassion in my role at Lap of Love to help families through the difficult process of saying goodbye to a beloved pet. I recognize that every family and pet is unique and so are their needs. I strive to meet families where they are to create a meaningful experience.

Outside of work, I enjoy walking with my dog, and my cat often joins us. I also enjoy spending time with my family, including my two teenage boys, practicing yoga, going out to eat with friends, and experiencing nature.
