Staff

I joined the staff at Danforth Animal Hospital in April of 1998 where I work as a veterinary assistant and receptionist. I really enjoy the challenges of working with our patients. There is always something new everyday.

Coming from a military family, I have lived in different states and in Germany. My husband Josh and I married in 1997. When I am not busy at home, I enjoy running and spending time with my family.

I joined Danforth Animal Hospital in September of 2014.  I started working with Animals in 2009 and have enjoyed it ever since.  When I'm not working with animals I enjoy spending time with my husband, playing video games, working on crafts, or working outside with my plants.  We share our home with our two children, Kaylee and Brendan, and our four furry kids, the Alaskan Malamutes, Avalanche and Keesha , and the Huskies, Suka and Sasha Bear.

I was born and raised Edmond, and go by she / her pronouns. I graduated Edmond North High School in 2005, joined the Danforth Animal team in 2006 as a kennel technician, and received a Bachelor's in English Education from the University of Central Oklahoma in 2009. In addition to working at Danforth, I've served as Director of Communications for Edmond Pride since November of 2017, and have been on an event planning committee for the non-profit Free Mom Hugs since August 2018. I am also an occasional guest lecturer at The Diversity Center of Oklahoma where I assist the local transgender community with necessary legal services such as name changes and obtaining updated identification, and have spoken on several panels about transgender rights at the University of Central Oklahoma. In the past I've also written for a political commentary blog, worked on a social media project for a large online news network, and assisted in managing a non-profit that promoted size acceptance. Outside of my volunteer work, I also enjoy cooking, traveling, musicals, and writing in my journal.
