Brief Bio

I am pursuing this residency in order to better my skills as an equine practitioner in all areas of equine practice. I enjoy all aspects of veterinary work on horses, and am particularly interested in lameness of the performance horse. In my spare time I love to ride my horse, and love exploring the outdoors: rock climbing, hiking, camping and snowboarding all make my list of favourite activities, when I have time!
