A Little About Me:  I grew up in the mountains in New Mexico and have a great love for the outdoors.  My husband, the veterinarian, and I moved to Alaska in 1979.  Alaska was the most beautiful place I had ever seen.  My career had been in the human dentistry field for many years.  As the years past, I found myself involved with assisting my husband on several of his animal calls.  I found the work in animal health to be of great interest and began working with him on a full time basis.   Caring for our furry little friends has been a gift to me in countless ways.  Being their caregiver and often their voice has taught me so much more about compassion, love, and friendship.

Attributes of C.V.P:  Working with a team that is caring and thorough.  Getting to know the  human parents  and families of all our patients.
