Owner & Veterinarian
Born and raised in Louisville, I have always had a passion for animals and a vision for providing compassionate, family-centered veterinary care. That dream became a reality when I opened Hopewell Animal Hospital in 2015, with the goal of delivering high-quality, affordable care to pets and their families.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry with a minor in Mathematics from Western Kentucky University in 2003, followed by my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Auburn University in 2007, graduating Cum Laude. With years of experience and a deep love for veterinary medicine, I am committed to treating every pet as if they were my own.
At home, my family keeps me just as busy as the clinic! My husband, Tim, works for Chevron, and together, we have two wonderful kids—Caleb (14), who loves basketball and running and will be part of Trinity High School’s Class of 2029, and Sophie (12), who attends St. Michael’s and enjoys playing softball, field hockey, and spending time at the clinic. When we’re not working, you’ll find us cheering on UK or supporting our kids in their many activities.
Our home is full of love (and fur!) with our three dogs—Rue, Sadie, and Sparkles, three cats—Armour, Mikey, and Ember, and even a snake named Banana.
At Hopewell Animal Hospital, we believe in building lasting relationships with pets and their families. We look forward to welcoming you and your furry (or scaly!) friends to our clinic!
