![]() ![]() I opened the Chicago region up for this company, who also employs veterinarians in other states, and built up awareness of at-home euthanasia to clients and veterinarians alike. I was hired by a company to do at-home euthanasia and it became a perfect fit for me. Little did I know that at-home euthanasia would be the next phase. It seemed like something I could do while I tried to figure out what the next phase of my veterinary career would be. My friend told me about something she had considered before accepting an animal emergency position – at-home euthanasia. After the summer ended, I still needed to decide what path I should take. I didn’t know what that “something” would be, but I left Banfield and practice in the summer of 2011 and I had the summer to develop new interests that I was always too busy to do, as well as spend time with friends and family who had, unfortunately, become secondary to my job. I was very successful at what I did, but practicing was very demanding and after 13 years, I needed something new. I become Chief-of-Staff, mentored new doctors, and ran the hospital with a team of over 4 doctors and 30 paraprofessionals. I then practiced at four different hospitals: Countryside Veterinary Clinic for 2 years, Downers Grove Animal Hospital and Bird Clinic for about 1 year, VCA Bolingbrook for about a year, mixed relief and emergency work for about 1 year, then 8 years at Banfield Pet Hospital of Bloomingdale. In 1996, I was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Veterinary Medicine and in 1998, I was awarded a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. Being a veterinarian was what I’ve always wanted to become since a very young age, so I jumped at the chance and left NCC before graduation. I completed 2 2/3 trimesters at North Central College (NCC) before I gained acceptance into the Veterinary Medicine program at the University of Illinois.
