I grew up in Waimea and moved to Hawi after high school. I received my Bachelors degree from UH Hilo, my Masters degree from Johns Hopkins University, and my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Colorado State University. 

 

I am fear free, Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy (CAETA), and Recover Basic Life Support and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (RBLS and CPR) certified for small animals. 

 

My special interests are dermatology, dentistry, and ophthalmology for dogs and cats. 

 

I currently live in Kohala with my husband, Ob, and our many animals (27 to be exact). My hobbies include reading, archery, swimming, and riding ATVs.

 

I am looking forward to helping care for the pets and people of my community and island home.
