After 8 years in private practice in Oregon, I returned to WSU to complete a residency in veterinary pathology and PhD training. When that training was completed, I was hired as a clinical instructor and then a full time faculty member. I teach in both the first year General Pathology course and the second year Systemic Pathology course. In addition, I am a faculty pathologist at the Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory.
