I graduated from Tuskeegee University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1999 and have dedicated my career to exclusively cats since 2001. The best part about being a cat vet is getting to see the love shared, and the bond between, the owner and their cat(s). I love working at All About Cats because everyone here is obsessed with cats, just like I am! 

I currently have 2 Sphynx cats, 'Snug' and 'Luther.' My love for the breed started with my first Sphynx, 'Brutus,' although my soul feline was 'Steelo,' a domestic short hair cat I adopted while in veterinary school.

The cutest thing about 'Snug' is that every time she eats, there is always a leftover crumb stuck to the side of her mouth. Luther loves to make biscuits and always has to have his paw on you.

I was born in Louisiana and eventually moved to El Paso, Texas where I did my undergraduate studies in Biological Science.  In 2021, I graduated from Oklahoma State University with my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine and shortly afterwards moved to Las Vegas, Nevada to begin my career. 

My passion for cats started with my first cat, Binx, when I was 7 years old and eventually led me into fostering kittens. I was a veterinary assistant for several years prior to attending veterinary school and during that time I really grew to appreciate the difference between feline and canine medicine. Half way through veterinary school is when I adopted my sweet cat, Nibbler, who has been my constant companion ever since.

I cant wait to take care of your kitties and the kitties of the community.

I have always felt a special love for cats and had a vision of a feline-only facility built specifically to cater to the comforts and needs of cats and their owners. My family and I poured our heart and soul into designing and building 'All About Cats Veterinary Hospital' and we proudly opened in October of 2001.

I always get asked 'Why just cats?' My answer is...if you could concentrate on the 20% of your job that you love the most, and just do that, wouldn't you? That's what working with cats was for me, it was my favorite part of being a veterinarian, and continues to be.

Caring for animals and especially cats has been my passion since I was 6 years old when I found my first cat, Chloe, in a storm drain. I grew up in rural Louisiana and worked in the veterinary field for 9 years before attending veterinary school.
 
I have a BS in Natural Resource Ecology and Management with a focus in Wildlife Ecology. I graduated in May of 2024 with my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Louisiana State University where I routinely fostered bottle baby kittens. 
 
My veterinary interests include feline medicine, exotics medicine, pain management, nutrition, and fear free practice handling. I love working with animals and learning all about each individual animal's bond with their owner. It helps me love the patients as my own even more so than I already do. I adore cats and their quirks.
 
I have 4 pets of my own: George, my orange cat who loves to cuddle, Holly Honeybee my golden retriever and best catcher of shadows, Quincy my pittie/lab lovable mutt with food as his main focus, and Eric my Syrian hamster who loves his spinach salad treats.

 

 

 

I am originally from Ohio and attended veterinary school at The Ohio State University. After graduation in 2008, I moved to Nevada to enjoy a warmer climate.

Since graduation, I have worked at veterinary clinics with various missions and goals and have gained a special interest in Dentistry and Surgery. Over time my love of cats has grown. Cats have a special bond with their humans that isn't appreciated enough. They need special care and attention and this is why I joined All About Cats Veterinary Hospital in 2024. 

I currently have four cats at home. 'Harrison' is very pretty and he knows it, but that is about all he knows. 'Henry' is my shy boy who needs extra attention. 'Francis' (pictured here) is a lovey boy who likes to explore. 'Julian' is the baby, even though he is the largest of them all.
