Responsibilities or Duties in the BOD

I am involved with the Student Chapters of the International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management at each of the veterinary schools.  My goal is to get a chapter at each veterinary school!

Involvement with Pain Management

Pain management is very near and dear to my heart!  I love teaching the veterinary students all about it and how to incorporate it into daily practice!  I have been involved in the research of pain management and will continue to pursue its many avenues.  My interest lies in adaptive and maladaptive pain management in both the feline and canine patient.   My goal is to one day have a student chapter of the IVAPM in each and every veterinary school and promote its awareness.   My other goal is to promote veterinary pain management and to promote the areas of expertise that this Board of Directors provides!

Hobbies and other activities

Enjoying the company of my husband, riding and showing quarter horses, showing Irish Setters in confirmation and competitive obedience.
