With two decades of experience in both veterinary and human emergency care, I bring a unique and comprehensive skill set to my training programs. As a board-certified ER nurse with nine years in human emergency nursing and ten years specializing in veterinary ER, trauma, and ICU care, I’ve developed a deep foundation in critical and trauma care. My work as a TCCC CM/C instructor and an Air Force Reserves flight nurse has further sharpened my trauma and prehospital expertise, including valuable deployment experience.

Passionate about advancing the health and welfare of working dogs and pets, I blend my diverse background to deliver practical, effective, and impactful training. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in San Diego, Los Angeles, and Seattle, providing advanced emergency care for canine patients and supporting law enforcement K9 teams in critical situations.

In addition to clinical practice, I have taught veterinary surgical nursing, pharmacology, and emergency veterinary nursing at the collegiate level, guiding future veterinary professionals through the complexities of surgical procedures, anesthesia, critical pharmacology, and emergency response. This combination of hands-on experience and academic instruction allows me to offer a truly comprehensive approach to K9 casualty care training.
