I am a regular person with a passion for animals and a curiosity about how Creation works. So I became a veterinarian. On this blog I hope to discuss how we can help your pet and provide some insight into the veterinary world. Some other topics could get sprinkled in, time will tell! Blogging is new to me, so I’m just winging it.
Why a blog?
- Help some pets!
- Help some pet owners / pet parents / pet lovers… whatever title suits you, you get my drift
- Create a bit of a bridge over the divide that the exam table can create, for both sides!
- Discuss some hard stuff on occasion
What’s my story?
I grew up in the River Valley with a large Catholic extended family, then went to Oklahoma State for undergrad. (Go Pokes!) I was blessed enough to walk on to the NCAA Equestrian Team there and was later captain. Received my Animal Science degree with an emphasis on Animal Biotechnology. I stayed there to live and breathe veterinary medicine for four years and graduated as a DVM in 2010. Currently, I practice part time at Alma Animal Clinic with my husband, Dr. Phillips, and the owner, Dr. Green. I also do some relief work. Things are good.
What do I work on?
- Dogs (I love Boxers)
- Cats
- Pocket Pets (also love rabbits)
- Reptiles
- Occasionally a horse, but mostly just my own (Irish Sport Horses for hunter / jumper stuff)
In my “free” time I wrangle children, ride horses when I can, dabble in photography, and pretend to have a green thumb.
