Veterinarian Overview
"General Practitioner" is an apt description of me as I enjoy all aspects of being a veterinarian, from internal medicine to surgery to preventive health care. My day is complete when I see a healthy puppy or kitten, when I am able to help a sick pet recover, when I can help maintain a senior patients quality of life, or when I can offer advice or solace to a client. The challenges and rewards of veterinary medicine still excite me, and even after 20+ years in this profession I look forward to going to work each morning.I grew up in a small town in Westchester County, New York, and earned my undergraduate degree from the University of New Hampshire. I have always loved animals, but didnt realize that I wanted to be a vet until I took a job as a veterinary technician after college. The next step was vet school and Igraduated from the New York State College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University in 1986. joined the team at Nottingham Animal Hospital when my husband and I and our 2 children moved to the area in 1997. Since then Ive had the pleasure of working with Dr. Graham and a wonderful group of technicians and receptionists, but, more importantly, have enjoyed all of our clients and their 4 legged children.My husband Bruce and I live in Pennsylvania with our college age daughter and son. We recently lost our sweet yellow lab, Starbuck, and Garfield the cat at a respectable 20 years of age. When I take my vet hat off I enjoy kayaking, hiking, step class at the gym, and reading.
