ABOUT ME

I'm a veterinarian living in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I spent the past year working shift work at a busy emergency and referral centre. I've decided to take the next 3 months to travel Europe starting June 2015 as I have never been!

I'm a laid back and friendly individual who is described as very caring and witty.

I've spent the last 2 months volunteering with a medical team dedicated with helping dogs and cats living on first nation reserves in Alberta.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to explore and make new friends. I've been described as an introvert with excellent social skills :)

Life is too short to be moody.

Yoga has taught me to be humble and true to myself and others I care about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've worked with a lot of animals including tigers, monkeys, and elephants as part of my veterinary training. I'm actually quite allergic to tigers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I always listen to what others have to say and have a memory as sticky as a fly trap. Tell me a story and I'll care enough to listen and remember it for years to come.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a lot of stories to share, mainly from odd things I've seen as a veterinarian. If you own a pet, I would be very fond of it and am open to answering any questions you have about the health and care of your fur baby.
