I got into the Veterinary world with my love of animals, science, an teaching. I didn’t really know what a Veterinary Technician was until I attended the AVC Vet Camp, and decided that was what I wanted to do. I went to Maritime Business College for 2 years to become a veterinary technician. When doing our rotations, I found my favorite part of being a veterinary technician; Surgery! I love being able to assist the Veterinarian with scrubbing in, gowning up and being there surgical assistant. I have always had dogs in my life, I currently have 3! My oldest is my 12-year-old Border Collie Sadie; my two youngest, Castile (yes she is names after the Angel in the TV show Supernatural) and Izzy; are both Lab/Australian Shepherd/Blue Healer mixes who are two years old. The three of them are very active, Cass and Izzy love to wrestle and chase each other around when not going for walks or snuggles on the couch. Sadie is never not without something to throw whether it be a Frisbee or a ball. In my spare time, when not spending it with Cass, Izzy, or Sadie; I enjoy reading, playing video games, watching TV and spending time with family and friends.

I’ve always had a passion for helping those who don’t have a voice. I graduated from the Academy Canada Vet Assistant program in 2020 in Newfoundland, where I’m originally from. After working in a busy clinic and providing on-call emergency services, I moved to Halifax in 2024 and have since been working with Bedford Parks.

I have a strong interest in surgery and enjoy exploring behavioural medicine to better understand and support our patients.

Outside of work, I spend my time with my two large dogs, Marley and Ace, or adventuring with my partner.”

I am originally from Newfoundland, and came to Nova Scotia to complete the Veterinary Technician program at Dalhousie University. My professional interests include zoo and exotic animal care, wildlife rehabilitation, conservation medicine, and end-of-life care.

I have a deep love for animals—especially lions and cows—and enjoys spending her free time building miniature dioramas, writing poetry, and learning random facts about a wide range of topics.

From a very young age, I have felt a strong connection to animals. My experiences with therapy animals have been especially meaningful, inspiring me to pursue a path where I can give back the same comfort and healing I once received from them.
