In vet school - like so many before me and after me - I used to transform class lecture notes into something visual to help me process and remember the information more easily. When I started sharing my work with my classmates, including some tools for use in clinics, I was both pleasantly surprised and hugely grateful for the positive responses that they shared with me. The idea that my work had made a difference to them, and most of all, that it might one day make a difference to their patients, was such an incredibly rewarding feeling that fueled my earliest dreams of starting mini mammoth.
I graduated from Tufts in 2014, initially starting a residency in lab animal medicine. Along the way, I started to realize what I was meant to do - find better ways to help clinicians achieve consistent, quality patient care - and so I started off in a new direction.
Knowing that information technology would inevitably play a large role in achieving that mission, I took a leap and landed a position on the IT team at a large human hospital implementing Epic, a top medical record in human healthcare. From that experience, I learned so much about what great software can do for clinicians and their patients, as well as some of the challenges of making it happen well. From there, I returned home to improve our very own veterinary medical records. I thoroughly enjoyed being back in the vet space, where I could realize and share solutions for veterinarians and their patients. But, years after vet school, I never stopped thinking about my vision for mini mammoth, and I knew it was time to venture off onto the next frontier.
I am so excited to be able to support you on your journey to provide better quality care for your patients, and I look forward to inspiring a successful and enjoyable experience for you in clinics and beyond.
