I was raised in a small rural town on the Gulf of Mexico and 10 minutes from the border of Louisiana. My mom and I rescued mostly cats, but also dogs, birds, small mammals, and even some farm animals from a young age. We decided to make our rescue official in 2017 and have taken in over 200 cats in the last 10 years. I graduated from Texas A&M University with my Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 2022. I accepted a position as an Associate Veterinarian at Stone Ridge Veterinary Medical Center after graduating.

I chose this clinic because of the care we provide to not just owned animals, but also shelter and rescue animals. I have many interests in the veterinary field, such as, soft tissue surgery, neurology, and cardiology. In my off time, I love to travel domestically as well as abroad as often as I can. I love to read, especially Stephen King books, and I am a huge fan of swimming and being outdoors.

Push is our resident cat. He came to us as an orphaned kitten in 2013. One of our clients found him on a golf course with a seemingly broken leg. During his exam, he persistently “pushed” the technicians’ hands for optimum pets and scratches, earning him his name.

Push’s road to recovery started off bumpy with the possibly of a leg amputation in his future. The technicians and veterinarians nursed Push back to health, and his broken leg healed on its own- perks of being a strong, feisty kitten!

If he’s not napping in his cat tower, Push loves begging for dog jerky treats, greets clients and patients, and loves to investigate carriers as well as oversized handbags.
