Claire is THREE!! Where does the time go?

Three years ago she was born the day before her baby shower catching us all by surprise. I should have known then she was just like me when she wanted to attend and enjoy her moment. 😜

Thank goodness for modern medicine and saving you when you were born 7 weeks early. 🥹🫶🏻

Fast forward to our vibrant lil threenager. She looks like Alexis and acts like me. She’s silly, sweet, meticulous, brave, independent, curious, bossy, clean, caring, and I have loved every minute of getting to know you!! 🤍

We love you so much Claire bear. Grateful for you every single day. 🤍

🤍 Let’s get real. 🌟 I have loved reading posts from this trend and wanted to hop on it in the spirit of openness.

A negative of social media is that majority of what you see is the story people want to tell. This ends up as a highlight reel and doesn’t often share the entire picture.

Behind the smiles, makeup, cute clothes and poses, there is more depth. I wanted to share my inner thoughts in hopes that it helps others know they are not alone.

I am an overall positive, bubbly person, but I have my moments too. It is hard to be so open and vulnerable when others aren’t, so I hope participating in this trend helps keep this dialogue going. 🫶🏻🤍

Do any of these resonate with you?

✌🏼Thankful for… 21 weeks of maternity leave. 🫶🏻

In a now female dominated field, this is a job benefit that is not common place. My first two jobs did not offer anything beyond unpaid time, aside from use of PTO.

How did I get so much time off with VEG?

21 weeks broken down to…
- 6 weeks at 60% of my salary (short term disability for natural birth)
- 10 weeks full salary (perk of VEG for full time employees)
- 2 weeks of PTO
- 3 weeks unpaid

We spend majority of the time home but are using the last two months to travel to family and on trips to enjoy the nice weather as we transition into our family of four routine.

I added a few weeks unpaid so that I could bridge to a nanny as well as finish out Sophie’s doctor appointments. With Claire, I went back around the same time at 5 months. I felt ready for the transition then and would have struggled with it being anytime before the 3 month mark.

Are you interested in a family at some point as a vet?

- Negotiate for your contract to include additional PTO or a portion of paid parental leave
- Apply for short term disability and get it before you family plan (usually you need to have it a year before they will pay out on it); 6 weeks covered for natural birth and 8 weeks for c-section
- Save up PTO for it
- Budget and save for your unpaid time off

Just remember… when negotiating, vets are hard to find these days so you are a hot commodity! Relief vets are expensive so sharing your value and willingness to come back can help. Consider negotiating for it later if they are not initially open to it because you will then have data to share why you are important to their practice.

And lastly…there are hospitals out there that value working parents and include these benefits already. It is a nice perk of many corporate practices that they can afford to do this so aligning with a hospital or company with similar values to you is important.

10 years married. 🥂🤍 It was hard to pick just 10 photos of our decade together.

So far, we have experienced multiple moves, five fur babies (sorry we didn’t include pics - we love yall! 😝), two human children, so many fun trips, France winning the World Cup, citizenship, and laughs on laughs.

Love is never perfect - don’t let insta fool you. The hope is to find someone who loves you in the imperfect moments too.

I am so glad Virginia Tech + Rivermill brought us together that random evening.

Addressing a common question I get from other vet professionals about our open concept at VEG.

“Is there higher risk of injury to staff with the open concept and pet parents being present?”

VEG does things differently… We
- Keep people and pets together
- We sit on the floor
- We bring people into the treatment area so they can be apart of their pet’s care
- We have people stay with their pets when they are hospitalized.

Why?? I am fear free certified, and the open concept allows this concept to happen naturally. In general, pets are much less stressed when they can stay with their person the entire time. There are rare exceptions, and we find a way to say yes to those with alternative methods.

Here are some quotes from other VEGgies on the open concept…

“The open concept and how we go about treating our patients where they are most comfortable eliminates a lot of extra stress factors that cause animals to react aggressively.”

“The pet parent being able to see how their pet is reacting makes it a lot easier for us to explain the value of relaxant and sedation medications. They are more on board with it than if they were not present allowing us to not push pets too far and keep everyone safe.”

“Certainly, there is responsibility we must take when owners are present to keep a patient’s stress low or to keep owners/us safe (muzzles, sedation, towel wraps, etc.). We also see pets where they are most comfortable so our body position is not as threatening to them.”

Hey VEGgies, add your perspective in the comments. 🫶🏻⤵️

Quite the journey to get you here, baby Sophie.

From a high risk pregnancy to a congenital variant to a congenital malformation, you have defied odds.

You survived surgery to repair your disconnected esophagus (esophageal atresia) at just 3 days and are thriving every day post-op.

These first 7 weeks of maternity leave have been a total blur as we battled significant stress, and I recovered from postpartum eclampsia. Claire also needed tubes for recurrent middle ear infections, and two of our pets decided to join the party with illness as well.

This life season is about rest, recovery, and enjoying the little things in life.

How am I handling all this? It has been hard but remembering life is precious and fleeting helps ground me back into the moment and focusing on only what I can control. Oh and baby snuggles, walks, and wine help too. 🙃

Thank you for keeping up with me on this journey. There will be many stories to continue to tell!

captured this beautiful moment, and I cannot wait to share more of them with you.

Vetmed is one of the rare medical professions where you can easily pivot and not need to go back to school.

You can graduate ready to take on equine medicine and then pivot five years later to small animal medicine. How beautiful is that to help a variety of species!?

On top of that, you can pivot to other aspects such as industry jobs with drug companies, pet food companies, work for the government (FDA, USDA), get into leadership and business, or even speak and consult. The list is endless!

Have you changed your mind?? It could be your track in vet school or your career after 3, 7, 20+ years!

Reshare my third post in your story and tell us how you changed your mind or pivoted in your career. Tag me, and I will share to my stories!! It could be motivation or help to another vetmed professional.

And join me and on Sunday Feb 18th from 7-8 pm for VEGgie Talks as she discusses equine emergency. We can all learn something new together!! Sign up in my linktree.

My heart is full. 🤍 After one week, we finally were able to hold and feed her!

Sophie has had a wild first week on this planet. A major surgery, drain placement, no milk feedings for 7 days, and the list goes on…

She has proven to be a true lil fighter, like her big sis, as she has healed from surgery and 24 hours after her contrast study is taking small bottles like a champ.

She still has more time in the NICU as she gets transitioned off IVs and on full milk feeds while we watch for any post-op complications, but the major stuff is behind us thank goodness.

We were not blessed with easy starts with either of our girls, but we thank Claire for having prepped us for going through this again. 😅 The NICU and pediatric teams are amazing, and we are so thankful to modern medicine and an army of positive thoughts and prayers.

It is never easy to go through tough times like these, but remembering to focus on the little wins and the day to day helps keep my mind from spiraling. Remembering that life truly is precious and to enjoy every little moment is an important thing to remember because you never know when it or a loved one will be taken away.

Hug your loved ones extra hard and remember to check in with your people regularly. 🫶🏻❤️‍🩹

Sophie Marie decided to also make a splash entrance like her big sis. She entered the world before her induction date on 1/2 at 3:12 am.

Thankfully, no need for an emergency c-section after help from the vacuum when she ripped her umbilical cord during delivery. She came in at a tiny and mighty 5 lbs.

Our first day was a bit of a roller coaster as she struggled to maintain her temp, blood sugar, nurse and breathe. After a rocky 12 hours, we got her admitted into the NICU and have been running tests to figure out what is going on. Suspicion was raised when a tube would not pass easily into her stomach early this am.

Sophie will be having surgery tomorrow morning for esophageal atresia type C (swipe to see a pic of this). Unfortunately, we are not strangers to the NICU life with Claire having been a preemie too. Apparently, Sophie wants a chest scar like her big sister.

She is in great hands, and we appreciate your thoughts and prayers to get our sweet baby girl through this. 🫶🤍

29/12/2023

And just like that… 38 weeks is here, and maternity leave begins! ✌🏼

Excited for this next chapter of becoming a mama of two! I cannot wait to see Claire become a big sister too. 😍

There will be a definite pause on content while we acclimate, but I will be sure to pop in here and there to update you. 🤍

And not to worry vet students…I’ll be back for VEGgie Talks in Feb!! 🫶🏻

I’m pretty upset by this to be honest. Seems like a weird hill to die on in some states when there are such bigger issues to address in our medical professions.

This is a recent move that went live December 1st 2023 in NC as well as other states.

I know I have seen such a beautiful change with the transition to the vet nurse title in VEG. On top of practicing in an open concept, this has allowed pet parents to see them hard at work too. Hands down, I’ve witnessed more respect, recognition and appreciation for our nursing team than ever before. It has been magical.

Vet techs gain a degree and work hard for their title. I’m all about title protection and love that for the profession. I’m just baffled how human medicine can “own the term” nurse. Doctors have an umbrella of professionals under them. It makes no sense to me why it shouldn’t be the same for nursing.

What do y’all think? I’d love to hear from you. ⬇️⬇️

💗🤍 My work family showered baby girl with love today. 👶🏼Thank you so much to everyone who came and made us feel super special! (missing a few faces who had to leave early - appreciate you coming!!)

Just over a year strong, and I am so thankful for my work fam. I love the team that we have become, and I love even more how we all support each other through everything.

We spend a large portion of our lives working, and I love our VEG CLT fam. It is so special to find a place where you can feel at home, and I love that I was able to help create this for our team. I will miss all of you while on leave, but I will say u am also beyond excited too for a four month paid maternity leave. Finding a company that values family is so important to me, and I am lucky to have found it with VEG!! 🫶🏻🚀✌🏼

Also…swipe to the far right for baby girl’s name unveiling. We wanted a classic French name that can be easily pronounced here too, just like Claire. 🥰 Her middle name is an ode to my mom and sister. 🤍

Vet med is not all puppies and kittens...especially this time of year.

Hands down..it is one of the hardest times to work in the vet field.

There are lots of emotions wrapped around the holidays, and when pets get ill, we are often faced with a lot of tough conversations, upset people, and euthanasia. This can make the ER a hard place to work this time of year.

I used to dread working this time of year, but once I joined VEG, a lot of this feeling changed. We adjusted the approach to how pets are seen and focused more on the customer experience so that we foster a more welcoming environment in a scary time.

You walk in and are immediately taken to treatment aka "the back." You watch the team hard at work on other patients, see other pets in varying degrees of triage, and have your pet triaged quickly. This open concept helps to reframe an emergency for many customers because they can now see why pets are seen more quickly than others, and it allows wait times to be more understood and tolerated.

How does this segway into the tough emotions of the holidays?? Well...9x out of 10, people are immediately calmed down in this scenario. You get to stay with your pet and have peace of mind up front with triage. Being in the same room as the team also means that we can intervene at any point if stability changes.

The VEG concept took a lot of the fear and anxiety out of a pet emergency. I hear a lot of hesitations from people about the open concept and how it works. I am here to tell you that it absolutely works. Seeing is believing. We want you to come visit us at VEG and see for yourself. Stop by any of our 60+ locations!

What questions do you have for me about the open concept?

24/11/2022

Feeling thankful & grateful for so much!! Thank you to everyone for following along and making possible 🤍 I love this journey with y’all!!

P.S. - Might have a little veterinarian on our hands!! Helping mama at work today. 🤍

Incompetent doctor.

In one day, I had three great things happen in and then one negative thing. Which do you think got to me?

That one negative comment has swirled around in my brain since then and attempted to take my confidence multiple times.

These moments make us question ourselves as a professional AND as a person. It hurts no matter how you spin it.

I have felt anxiety, stress, self doubt, nausea, and the list goes on.

I share this candidly because I want EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU to know that you are still a great, capable person. I still am a great, capable person.

As a young vet, this would have derailed me for months. With time and practice, it has only derailed me days. These moments still hurt, but I have more perspective and support to help me through them now. I am lucky to work in an environment of support and love.

So… What did I do? I immediately owned the situation and figured out how to make it right. Now, I am learning from it so I can grow from it.

We are ONLY human. Mistakes happen to everyone no matter your age or experience level. I want you to really grasp this fact because there is not one human on this planet who hasn’t made a mistake (or 100s) before.

Do these mistakes define you? NO. What defines you is what you do about it. 🤍

My best advice for right now… Own it, learn from it, and grow. It is normal to feel hurt, but make that hurt productive. 😘✌🏼

Happy Fall y’all, from my BOO!!!

taking all the best shots!!!

It is important that you love what you do because there is no work-life balance. Some days are mostly work and others may be 50:50.

Since I have opened VEG Charlotte, I have worked almost every day. I have been able to do personal things but still find myself checking Vetspire to see what cases are in or my Workplace messages.

You would think I am not smiling after all these hours, but I am.

I love what I’m doing. I’m leading a fantastic team, helping many pets in Charlotte, and supporting vets that have been struggling to find care for their patients.

It is a tough job to turn off from but by far the most rewarding thing I have done so far in my career.

Being a Medical Director is a tough job, and it is not for everyone. It is important to know this and that you will work hard. You will have long days and feel like you are just running in circles sometimes.

But when you get to see happy team members and save countless lives…you realize the juice is truly worth the squeeze. 🤍

𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒚𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏… It never fully goes away!

Anytime I have gone through a challenge or big life change, I feel it coming back.

With my Charlotte hospital 19 days from opening, I find myself wondering if I have what it takes.

These thoughts keep me up at night and even wake me up.

But then I remember what amazing mentors and role models I have in my life.

Lean into your people when you find yourself questioning your abilities. They have your back. (Tagging some of my people!)

Cheers to this new chapter as a Medical Director and being a role model to my sweet, silly daughter. 🤍

I am all for supporting breeders who value the science behind vet med and are responsible.

But when you start sending this misinformation to new puppy owners who have no idea…that is when stuff gets real. 😭

Vet friends on social media, thank you SO much for educating and advocating for animals on your pages. Spreading information on what we do for pets and the why behind our job is so important these days. Thank you for all that you do. 😘

Now go get ‘em gen prac vets. 😉

𝑾𝒉𝒐 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒗𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏’𝒔 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆??

𝔸 𝕧𝕖𝕥 𝕥𝕖𝕔𝕙!!!!

Vet techs (LVT/RVT/CVT/LVMT) are the equivalent of a nurse in vet med, and that is why at VEG we call them nurses so people get this when they walk through our doors in the ER.

This is such an important thing to understand because vet techs play a HUGE part in our patient’s care. I could not do my job without them, and it is important to share that love and respect every day. 🥰

For those who do not know, students go to vet tech school and pass boards in order to become licensed. Vet techs can also specialize in surgery, critical care, etc. 😍

𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕤 𝕧𝕖𝕥 𝕟𝕦𝕣𝕤𝕖𝕤 𝕕𝕠 𝕠𝕟 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕕𝕒𝕚𝕝𝕪???

✔️ draw blood and place catheters (and our patients have hair…so it is not as easy as human med 😝)
✔️ perform and monitor anesthesia
✔️ calculate drugs and create CRI’s, etc.
✔️ place tubes (like an NG tube for feeding)
✔️ triage patients and play a huge role in catching ill patients to ensure they are seen immediately
✔️ perform treatments on hospitalized patients
✔️ do research for our field
✔️ and the list goes on!!!

Tag your vet tech partner in crime here to show them some love and share what you love about them!!! ⬇️⬇️

Watching the child you helped create grow and develop a personality is hands down the coolest thing in the world. 😍

15 months has been pretty cool! She is close to walking and working in her vocabulary. Also pretty sure she has my voice and sass. 😂😂

Pictured: Claire hanging with her bestie Palmer. Thanks for the great pics!! 🤍

Have you seen this yet? It was brought to my attention this morning, and I had to share. 🤍

Happy Fourth of July, y’all. 😙

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒊𝒏? Are you in go mode? Cramming for exams and focusing on school? Are you trying to climb the ladder in your career? Or are you taking a step back to enjoy your new baby? Or just moved to a new city and focusing more on friendships and social life?

Being productive or in go mode does not dictate our worth. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗼 𝗴𝗼 𝗴𝗼 all the time to be successful.

Sometimes it is best to have seasons of go and seasons of pause.

Lately I have been doing a lot of reflecting to recalibrate myself. The last year was a lottttt of go mode. Moving, learning the VEG way, opening a hospital, having a baby, raising baby, writing a book, and the list goes on. It has been exhausting BUT amazing! I love go mode and feel good when I get s**t done.

But here’s the thing…I know I look like a hustler, but I also know when it is time to step back. I need time to rest and recoup in order to get back into go mode.

Take that vacation. Pause that project. Do what you need to do to be focused on your season. It is ok to take a break and does not take away from your success. If anything, it will make you happier and more successful because you listened to yourself.

Here’s your friendly reminder that it is ok to take a break to rest and recalibrate so that you can be ready for the next season of go mode. 😘

17/06/2022

You are a role model whether you believe it or not.

You are inspiring your siblings, teammates, underclassmen, co-workers, neighbors, friends, and more.

Being a mom brought new light to this because I am starting to see Claire mimic some of my mannerisms, facial expressions, and more.

This is important to remember when becoming a parent because we are the ultimate role model for our kids. While no one is perfect, I certainly want to do my best for Claire.

I want to show her that anything is possible and support her in her journey to finding herself and her purpose.

If I’m not in my scrubs, I’m in athleisure wear. I love their matching sets, and this one is now in bonsai. 😍

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒕 𝑽𝑬𝑮𝑪𝒐𝒏? Let’s break it down! ⬇️😍 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒕? A conference dedicated strictly to emergency where attendees get to learn usable skills that will help them manage ER cases. 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒕? Denver - picking cool cities to explore. I got to try local craft beer and wander around to look at the sights during free time. 𝑨 𝒘𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒏𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈. There were VEGgies, non-VEGgies, ambassadors, and students all together getting to know each other. Having a smaller crew (~500) made it easy to see people. 𝑨𝒎𝒂𝒛𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒔. We had specialists in experts in their fields sharing practical advice that will be useful Monday morning back at work. Oh and did I mention, the last speaker was THE Jeff Corwin!? 𝑯𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒍𝒂𝒃𝒔. We were taught usable skills that we can take back with us. I placed IO catheters and feel confident doing that the moment I practice again. 𝑭𝒖𝒏 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔! Everything from a DJ to henna tattoos to yummy food and venues. It was a great time to unwind after learning all day. I highly recommend you consider going next year. It will only get better and better!! 🚀✌🏼🥰

Don’t get me wrong here because I loveeeeee my job, but sometimes you just want to talk about food, wine, the weather, or sit in silence on vacation. 😂😂 On that note ➡️ off to enjoy the beach! . . . . #vetmed #vetmeme #vethumor #vetmedmeme #veterinarian #vacationvibes #imoffduty #beachmode #workingmom #workingmomonvacation

VA Tech - it’s all happening.

Some days it totally feels like this 😝 I know everyone in healthcare can relate! 😂 As someone who used to constantly eat through lunch, I do not recommend making that a habit. It definitely contributed to my burn out. Take that break, y’all. You deserve it. Even if it is 15-20 mins. It’ll help you take better care of your patients. Sometimes that just means doing it at a different time when less busy. 🤍

We all felt this way, let’s be real. 😂💀

Anyone else get trapped at dinner parties hearing about someone’s dog’s diarrhea or cat’s recent surgery? 🤪🤪 Do you make up a profession to tell people in public who don’t know you?? Dying to know in comments… ⤵️

Sleeping in is a thing of the past now… 🤪 Between cats meowing or banging on a closed door, dog breath in my face, and a baby rolling around whining for breaky…7 am is a dream waking hour. 😂😂 What is your new sleep in time? Who wakes you up first??

We all know when 5 pm rolls around…the chaos begins! 🤪 Us in ER land like to call it, the 5 o’clock dump 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ We get it and are here for you!! Us ER vets live for this stuff and are here to help your patients when you are closed. 😘 Also…anyone else watch Squid Game yet?? We JUST finished it last night…so good. Highly recommend for your weekend Netflix & chill.

Anyone else feel like this on some weekend shifts!? I know the ER tends to be PACKED on weekends. I hear Charlotte has been having 5-7+ hour waits these days in the ER, so I know @veterinary_emergency_group is much needed to share the load!! 🤩🤩

When ya know…ya know 😂😂 Totally happens more than you would think. I absolutely find a way to say yes…when the pet is stable. 🤪😘 . . . . . . . #veterinarian #vet #vetlife #vetschool #vetstudent #vetstudentlife #vetstudents #veterinarymedicine #dogtor #veterinaryschool #vetadvice #doctor #vetadvice #vetmentor #mentor #mentorship #newdogtor #medicalprofessional #vetmed #vetmeme #vethumor #emergencymedicine #emergencyvet #emergencyvettech #emergencyveterinarian

FOMO is real right now! 😭😭 Hope everyone has a BLAST and stop by to see @veterinary_emergency_group 🥰

Working on a holidayyyy 🤪

Day care starts this week for Claire. August took a balancing act to manage it with us both being so busy, so this is much needed for our working parent sanity. It’s so bittersweet though. 😭

Life as a emergency medical professional 🤪🤪

𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉…𝑰 𝒅𝒊𝒅!!! 🤩 I want to share some ways I did this to try to help give y’all some ideas too 🤍 I know student debt is daunting to all of us… - I had in state tuition - I applied for any and all scholarships I could (@veterinary_emergency_group has one that pays for your entire last year of school!) - I had a job my first two summers to help with expenses - I had a paid ambassador position in school - Dual incomes post grad helped me prioritize and pay - Buying a house benefited us because with appreciation we got even more back than our down payment and monthly mortgage - Having a side hustle! - Paying more than your monthly payment to knock down principal 𝑨𝒏𝒚 𝒕𝒊𝒑𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒑𝒂𝒚 𝒐𝒇𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒐𝒂𝒏𝒔 𝒇𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓?

First week back as an ER veterinarian went great!!! But for real though…the saying “it’s like riding a bike” holds true. It all comes back! Some advice: 🤍 Give yourself grace and don’t be hard on yourself. 🤍 Ask for help! 🤍 Triple check drug doses! 🤍 Work a shift with another doctor so you can bounce ideas off them and get your working brain back on track. 🤍 Order the triple shot latte 🤪
