Biography
I did my undergraduate studies at Southeast Missouri State University (bachelor’s in agribusiness, animal science concentration), followed by veterinary school, small animal internship, and clinical pathology residency at University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine.
I was an instructor at U of I for more than a year before beginning work for a commercial diagnostic laboratory. After several years, I found that I missed the variety and engagement of academics, as well as working in a lab affiliated with a veterinary hospital, and I was fortunate enough to return to U of I as a clinical assistant professor in September 2017.
Research Interests
I am interested in clinical problems, particularly knowledge gaps that lead to limitations and difficulties for clinicians and their patients. I have enjoyed collaborating on reptile hematology projects with our exotics/zoo veterinarians, residents, and students, and I look forward to continued involvement in this important area of reptilian and avian research.
