Two years ago, I graduated from the University of Missouri with no idea where this journey would take me.
If you had asked me then what my life would look like today, I never would have guessed this would be the answer.
Over the last two years, I’ve worked in general practice, emergency medicine, urgent care, relief work, and now full-time in-home euthanasia while continuing to provide hospice consultations and palliative care. Over the last 8 months, I’ve also built a social media platform that has connected me with so many incredible people and families.
I’ve always been someone who thinks a little outside the box and doesn’t necessarily follow the standard path, and honestly, that’s what led me here.
I found my passion in helping families through one of the hardest days of their lives with a calm, compassionate, and reassuring approach in the comfort of their home. It may sound strange to some people, but the gratitude and peace families express afterward is what keeps me doing this every day.
I graduated alongside my beautiful fiancée Caroline, who is now a veterinary ophthalmology resident, was hooded by my mentor and close friend Dr. Amy Daley, and through it all, Heidi has been there every step of the way. I actually got Heidi just days before vet school started, so she’s truly been part of this entire journey.
A lot can change in two years, and honestly, this career has taken me in directions I never expected.
