After her internship, she practiced both general practice and emergency medicine in the Southern California area and ultimately chose to pursue a career in internal medicine resulting in a cross-country move to attend Tufts University in Massachusetts for a three-year residency in small animal internal medicine.

She enjoys all aspects of her career and receives great personal fulfillment helping strengthen the human-animal bond through caring for and managing beloved pets’ ailments.
