Service

As a diagnostic pathologist I provide necropsy, biopsy, and consultation services for referring veterinarians and owners from the state of Kansas and numerous other locations, as well as the KSU Veterinary Health Center. I also perform histological evaluation for other outside parties for research purposes and serve as the supervisor for the Necropsy and Receiving areas at the Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory.

Teaching

I assist with instruction of the fourth year veterinary students on the Diagnostic Medicine rotation which encompasses whole animal and gross tissue evaluation, sample collection for diagnostic testing, necropsy techniques, and analysis of findings.
