In-Home Pet Euthanasia in Norfolk County

I have wanted to be a veterinarian for almost as long as I can remember. I grew up in a suburban town in Metrowest Massachusetts, and was raised by a nurse, which fostered an interest in science and medicine from an early age. As a young child, I remember meeting a joyful dog that lost her leg after being hit by a car. The three-legged dog loved life, and was clearly not slowed down by her injury, and I thought the veterinarian who performed the life-saving amputation was a hero. In my later childhood, like many others, I developed a passion for horses that further solidified my veterinary career path. 

I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, which provided great opportunities to work with horses and farm animals, and I earned my veterinary degree from Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine. I have worked in mixed animal and small animal practices. These experiences have repeatedly demonstrated the strength of the human-animal bond, regardless of species. With continued advances in science and medicine helping pets live longer lives, I have seen the importance of not only wellness and preventive medicine, but also geriatric and hospice care.  

Since I have had pets all of my life, I have also experienced loss. Several years ago, I unexpectedly lost my heart cat. This experience, and the perspective it gave me, guides me as I help support pets and their families in their final moments. I feel that being able to provide a calm, peaceful transition is a wonderful gift to give to our most beloved family members. 

Outside of veterinary medicine, I enjoy gardening, cooking, photography, and live music
