My journey at Viewmont Animal Hospital began over 30 years ago, starting in the kennels. From those early days, I learned quickly that no job was too small when it came to the well-being of animals and the people who love them. Over the years, I worked my way through nearly every role in the hospital—learning, growing, and gaining an understanding of what it takes to keep a practice running with both skill and heart. 

My husband and I have a wonderful daughter, son-in-law and grandson, and one of my greatest joys is being “Nannie”.

At home, life doesn’t slow down—it just shifts gears. We raise beef cattle, a responsibility that keeps me grounded and connected. In my spare time, I make handmade soaps and herbal salves, blending creativity with a love for natural living. I’ve always had a passion for growing things, especially herbs.

Animals are, of course, a constant in my life. At home, we have two dogs, two cats, and more chickens and cows than I can easily count.
