For over 20 years I have been blessed with the opportunity to practice doing what I love. As a veterinarian at Worth Street Veterinary Center, I am honored to help make a difference in the lives of pets and their human companions.

This transformation was fueled by my unwavering sense of purpose and dedication to animal well-being.

I took the step to enroll at Columbia University, where I diligently completed the prerequisites that would serve as the building blocks for my veterinary journey…

I recently moved to Manhattan from Charlottesville, Virginia, where I practiced at a small-animal general practice.
