Sam’s passion for veterinary practice is rooted in a deep love for all living things. She shares her home with her husband, a local logging truck driver, their daughters, and a wonderfully chaotic extended family of animals. All eight of her cats and three dogs are rescues or foster animals, reflecting her lifelong commitment to giving vulnerable pets a second chance.

Sam enjoys the challenge of complex cases, taking a methodical approach to diagnostics and working toward the best possible outcomes. She is also passionate about preventative care, wellness, and building meaningful connections with clients, understanding the profound bond people share with their pets.

Outside of work, Sam embraces a colourful life filled with creativity. Her home and garden are alive with vibrant plants, birds, and insects, alongside her own artistic projects — reflecting the same curiosity and care she brings to her veterinary work each day.
