"I graduated veterinary school in 2004 and was a practicing veterinarian for 15 years. My experience is diverse, having worked in hospitals, animal shelters and emergency medicine and I have a passion, above all, for client education. I loved helping people learn so they could take better preventative care of their pets and manage complex disease syndromes in a very informed way.

My interest in the sciences started very young, when I would try to befriend ducks and other wildlife so I could sit and observe them. In college, I took as many anatomy, physiology, and animal science classes as I could, graduating with a BS in Zoology in 1999 (with a Geography minor for fun). During veterinary school, my thirst for knowledge continued and took me to Thailand to learn elephant medicine and Florida to study manatee epidemiology.

About three years ago, I began a new career adventure in consulting, where my main focus has been client education, and discovered this was an area I especially thrived in. I have also been involved in patient community outreach and education for some human chronic diseases that have complex biological explanations.

Having worked with a diversified public for decades, my teaching style is tailored for the needs of each individual. Learning should be what's best for each and every person. I excel most in anatomy, physiology, biology and other life sciences but geography and creative writing are also things I have an interest and background in and I have even recently finished my first novel. I look forward to meeting students here at Wyzant and helping them reach their goals.
