Where are you from? 
I grew up in the Quad Cities where we consider ourselves the "city" for the outlying rural areas. 

Where do you live? 
I live in my hometown of Moline, IL 

Where are you currently employed?

What is your current job title?  
Associate Veterinarian at Animal Family Veterinary Care Center and Head Veterinarian at Niabi Zoo in Coal Valley

Describe your day to day? 
I see exotics and mixed practice, so every day is different! We have a really collaborative group of doctors at my practice and it's very fast-paced. As far as the zoo goes, it's great because I get time to research the ever-changing protocols and procedures to work the exotic patients in my care.
