Veterinarian
I’m a native Texan, born and raised in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Some of my favorite childhood memories come from visiting family in West Texas, where an open-door policy for strays sparked my lifelong love of animals.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Animal Science from Tarleton State University, along with minors in chemistry and business, before attending Oklahoma State University for veterinary school. Following graduation, I ran back to Texas as quickly as I could.
I have deep roots at Holland Lake Animal Hospital, first joining as a volunteer during my time at Tarleton and working my way through nearly every role before becoming a veterinarian.
In 2024, I married my husband, Francisco. Together, we share our home with three dogs—Quila, a Blue Lacy; Ranger, a pit bull mix; and Poncho, a terrier mix—and one cat, Elvis, named after my favorite singer.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my husband and our dogs, exploring new places, and staying active. I also love all things crafty, with a current passion for crochet, and enjoy unwinding with a good book—especially thrillers!
