I have been interested in animals most of my life. I am originally from Illinois, and my passion for animals and helping others lead to work in the veterinary field in 2005 as a receptionist and veterinary assistant. I have been working at the Animal Clinic of Clifton since its re-opening in 2011, having had the opportunity of previously working with Dr. Bostrom and Dr. Ihrig. When not at the clinic, I spend time with my husband, Rich, or at the barn with my horse. My other interests include outdoor experiences, gardening, hiking, baking and puttering about in general alone or with friends and family. (Diane is also the clinic gardener and keeps it looking beautiful!)
