On the day my childhood horse almost died, I decided to become a veterinarian. As I grew as a professional, I uncovered my love for science and research and, ultimately, regenerative medicine.

Along the way, I learned a lot about leadership, what makes a good team, how to care for them, and how to inspire people to reach for something far bigger than themselves.

Today, I use these learnings to lead a team of pioneers in a field that we believe will transform animal health.

Professionally, I excel at:
- Creating a values-based culture
- Compassionate leadership
- Putting people at the center of all that I do
- Innovative science
- Being calm in a crisis
- Accountability- the buck stops with me

Personally, I am:
- Passionate about personal development
- Writing obsessed
- A fitness/well-being fanatic
- A mom before all…

I love the fact that I work with incredible people on a mission to create a new class of therapies for our pets that treat the root cause of disease and have the potential to alter their quality of life and, therefore ours ❤️
