I have been a certified veterinary technician for more than 30 years, have a M.Ed from Colorado State University and a Master of Veterinary Education (MVEd) from Lincoln Memorial University’s School of Veterinary Medicine.  

I have been teaching  at local colleges in veterinary Assistant Programs for 13+ years, a private university in an Equine Studies program for 4 years and previously taught at a variety of Veterinary Science programs for grades 3-5, 6-8, and high school. 

I am also a homeschool mom! At home, my family has a mini horse, a Paint horse,  4 Nigerian dwarf goats, 6 chickens and 4 cats!  

I am passionate about sharing my experience and love for animals and veterinary medicine with all learners from diverse backgrounds from all around the world! If your learner has a dream to be a veterinary professional, then I am excited to help them on this first step!
