​

I am a 2017 graduate of the University of Minnesota. I currently work as an equine private practitioner in a multi-doctor referral practice. During school, I was the president of the Minnesota chapter of the VBMA as well as a National VBMA Vice-President. My interests and expertise lie in the new graduate experience. I like to focus my talks on the transition from school to practice, how to approach client communications, as well as discussing some personal finance.
