- Summary
- My education began at the University of Illinois, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Animal Sciences with honors (2010) and a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine (2015). Following graduation, I completed a rotating internship at Veterinary Specialty Center (Buffalo Grove, IL). While I always had a strong interest in neurology throughout veterinary school, I found myself interested in caring for more critical patients during my rotating internship. Subsequently, I returned to the University of Illinois for a specialty internship in Emergency and Critical Care with an additional emphasis on Neurology. During my specialty internship, I developed a strong interest in cases that combined these two specialties, including management of cluster seizures, implementing treatment for encephalitides, and head trauma. My family and I moved to Austin in 2021, where I accepted a position as a neurologist. We have truly been enjoying our wonderful new town. In my spare time, I enjoy knitting, walking new trails with my husband and my dogs, and reading both thriller/crime fiction and non-fiction novels.
