Ever since I was young, I've had a deep love for animals, and this passion has shaped both my career and personal life. In 2020, during the pandemic, I took a leap and started my pet sitting business, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. That same year, I also welcomed my first dog, Coco, a German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix, into my family.

Before joining the team here at West Hill Animal Clinic, I worked at the Veterinary Emergency Clinic as an Animal Care Attendant. During my time there, I realized I wanted to do more in the veterinary field and expand the services offered through my business. This led me to attend Seneca College for the Veterinary Assistant program, from which I graduated in 2024.

What I love most about my job is getting to meet new furry friends every day. The staff at WHAC are incredibly welcoming and supportive, which makes coming to work even more enjoyable.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes.
