I am a Madison, Ms native. I attended MRA and after graduating I decided to further my education at Hinds Community College in Veterinary Technology. I started here at The MAC in 2017 and have loved my job since day one!
I am a mom to 2 little boys and a fur mom to 4 dogs and a cat. My husband, Kenny, is a foreman for C-spire. We enjoy anything outside, ATV parks, swimming, going on the river, bonfires, etc.
The MAC is truly a family and I am so thankful to be a part of this clinic while also becoming a part of the lives of our patients. Our patients and clients are amazing, and I could not imagine working anywhere else. Providing the best care and showing love to each and every patient/client is my passion. I am so grateful to get the privilege of taking care of your baby.
