Following completion of her MSSW degree with a certificate in Veterinary Social Work, she took a hiatus from the veterinary field to work at Hands On Nashville as Director of Programs.

She loves being able to play a part in supporting the human animal bond for everyone who is part of the Animalia Community. In her free time, she enjoys reading, baking, outdoor adventures and spending as much time as possible with her tabby cat, Frank, and Appaloosa gelding, Wilson.
