I've worked at Arrowhead Ranch Animal Hospital since June of 1998 and would not have it any other way. The Doctors and staff here are GREAT.

I have been working at Arrowhead Ranch Animal Hospital since I was 16 and I have been working here a little over five years. I have two adorable cats named Tiger and Dane and a Corn Snake named Drake. For fun I like to go dancing and taking road trips to California to surf and hang out.

My cats include Belle, a black cat, Sadie, a grey, Kobalt, a white tiger striped cat, and Izzie, a tabby kitten we rescued.

I am originally from a small town in southern Nebraska, and have been around animals large and small all of my life. In my spare time I like to ride horses, go hiking, boating, camping; pretty much anything that will get me outdoors. Some of my other hobbies are photography and sand volleyball. Currently I have one dog named Lucy who is pit-bull mix and two horses; a retired Thoroughbred race horse named Bootin Scootin and an Appaloosa named A White Knight.
