A true native of Illinois, I grew up in Wheaton before attending and receiving my bachelor's degree in Agricultural Science, then my DVM degree from University of Illinois in 1982.

I have practiced at the same location for the past 22 years before taking the Part-Time Associate Position here at Foxmoor Veterinary Clinic. I was even fortunate to be able to partake in a program that allowed me to strengthen my veterinary skills at a practice in Australia!

Since my semi-retirement, I have taken to my enjoyments of playing golf, reading, traveling and spending time with my grandchildren. I have a grey tabby named Thumpkins.
