Research Interests

Current research aims to study the use of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy in birds. Other research interests include pain management in all species; and nutrition and how diets can affect the way patients feel, move, and interact with their world. 

Clinical Interests

Integrative medicine

Teaching Interests

My teaching interest focuses on challenging students to think critically and strive to make a difference in the lives of their patients. I work with them to help think outside the box of allopathic medicine as they go into practice.   I also enjoy helping each student to recognize different ways to stay grounded and maintain their mental health as they move forward in their career as veterinarians. Lastly, I am dedicated to coaching my students to ensure all patients are as comfortable as possible throughout their care, as well as addressing the different components of nutrition with all clients.
