Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice & In-Home Euthanasia

Growing up, I moved around often between the US and Taiwan, where my family is from. I enjoyed my time living in a small city in southern Taiwan full of friendly people, delicious food, and urban culture. As a child, I loved learning about and interacting with animals and was fortunate to have teachers who encouraged my passion by providing opportunities for me to care for animals—whether it was the class turtle or their own dog. 

I completed my bachelor’s degree in integrative biology from The University of California, Berkeley, and later received my veterinary degree from The Western University College of Veterinary Medicine in Southern California. 

I have worked in many different capacities as a veterinarian, from small animal general practice and emergency care, to in-home euthanasia services, to an office job with the state.  While I’ve enjoyed a variety of experiences, I most enjoy working directly with families and their pets, creating connections, educating clients on their pets' health, and supporting people through challenging times such as their pet’s passing. 

A year out of vet school, my family had to say goodbye to our sweet Labrador. The process of deciding when was the best time for her was extremely difficult, and I truly empathize with families when they are going through that same internal turmoil and are questioning the right time to let go.

I appreciate the intimate setting of in-home euthanasia and getting to know the families and pets I serve. It is beautiful to witness the special ways that people love their pets, and I am honored to be a part of their journey through my role at Lap of Love. 

Outside of work, I like to stay busy, and I have a bad habit of picking up too many hobbies. I especially enjoy being active outdoors, listening and dancing to music, reading, and traveling.
