Veterinarian Overview
I can trace my love of animals back to my childhood, where Mickey, our familys white terrier-mix, inspired my devotion. As a 5-year-old, I may have loved him a little too much back then. I dont know how much he appreciated me painting his nails, giving him hair cuts, cuddling him like he was my favorite stuffed animal; but he was my best friend. Growing up in Bergen County, I donated my time volunteering at RBARI animal shelter since the age of 13 throughout high school. I completed my undergraduate work at Cook College, Rutgers, receiving my veterinary degree from Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Moving back to the East Coast to be closer to family and friends, I completed a rotating internship at Fifth Avenue Veterinary Specialists, a busy specialty and 24-hour emergency hospital in New York City.My favorite areas of interest include dermatology and neurology specifically of dogs and cats. I am excited to be part of the Franklin Lakes Animal Hospital team. Outside of the office, I enjoy running, skiing and traveling. Sometimes even traveling for running or skiing!
