2.8 million people. That’s how many I’m reaching every month through DairyDoc across platforms, and the number is still climbing!

This month I had the chance to share that journey on stage at the AABP Annual Conference with my talk “Connecting Pastures: Navigating Social Media for Veterinarians.”

It was such a fun experience, and I’m so grateful to for creating a space where veterinarians can learn, grow, and support each other.

The interest in authentic agricultural stories keeps reminding me why this work matters. We’re not just treating cows, we’re connecting people to the food system.

From a suburban kid in California to receiving the James A. Jarrett Young Leader Award at AABP! I am so grateful to and everyone who has helped me get to where I am today.

The winner of this award 10 years ago led me to my very first job. This year, I stood on that same stage to accept it myself—a full-circle moment I’ll never forget.

Thank you to Dr. Gaby Maier for nominating me, to the 8 vets who took a chance on me as a new grad, to the mentors in AABP who opened doors, and to everyone who supported me along the way.

AABP has shaped my journey in ways I couldn’t have imagined, and I’m so proud to be part of this community of amazing cattle veterinarians. 💙🐄

Seeing the DairyKind logo on Danzeisen Dairy glass bottles feels like a dream come true. When we started DairyKind, the goal was simple: help farmers and their teams give cows the best care possible—through respect, compassion, and consistency.

To now see Kindness in Every Drop on the shelves with a local, family-run dairy that shares those same values is pretty amazing. Danzeisen has been part of Arizona ag for generations, and they’re proof that fresh, local, and kind can all go hand in hand.
So if you spot one of these bottles, know it’s more than milk! It’s a promise of compassion in farming. 💙

I had such a fun conversation with Dr. Megan Sprinkle on her Vet Life Reimagined podcast 🎙️🐄

We talked about:
Finding your career path (even when it doesn’t look the way you expected)
Growing up in the suburbs and somehow ending up in food animal medicine
The power of curiosity and community in veterinary medicine
Why I’m so passionate about sharing the real story of dairy farming

One of my favorite takeaways:
As veterinarians, we carry two big gifts:
1️⃣ People trust our voices.
2️⃣ We’re part of an incredible, supportive network.

If you’ve ever felt like your career didn’t fit the “mold,” I think you’ll really connect with this one.

Thank you Megan for having me!

Last week I had the opportunity to speak to the alongside the Cooperative Extension. We led a hands-on workshop on biosecurity, walking cattle producers through key principles, how to create a plan, and the resources available to them (with support from ).

It was a joy to connect with this group of passionate, motivated women in ag, including a powerful message from the president of the .

These women are building community, leading locally, and leveling up their branches and I’m grateful I got to contribute to the conversation.

“People want to drink their milk and not feel guilty about it.”

That quote in my recent feature says a lot about why I started .doc and co-founded .

It’s not about arguing, it’s about showing what good animal care really looks like and helping people feel confident about the food on their table.

Today I had a student ride along who reminded me how powerful early curiosity and intentionality can be.

She’s just finishing high school and already thinking ahead, not only about becoming a wildlife vet, but about curating a broad range of experiences to get there. That’s how you do it: by exploring the field, asking questions, and learning what you love (and what you don’t) before you’re deep in the trenches. I didn’t figure this out until I started shadowing vets in college. My career now is nothing I even imagined when I was her age. I wish I had started earlier!

I actually did a YouTube video recently about what makes a great ride-along, and this student checked every box:
✅ Showed up on time
✅ Brought thoughtful questions
✅ Stayed engaged the entire time
✅ Wanted to learn, not just observe

If you’re mentoring or shadowing, or thinking about it, I hope this encourages you. These early steps matter. They build the foundation for a career that fits you.

Tell me about a great student you’ve worked with, or drop your advice for students in the comments! 👇

Grateful for the opportunity to get up on stage with fellow veterinarians at the Precision Dairy Conference, discussing how we as vets can help bridge the gap between technology, farm teams, and animal welfare.

We explored what veterinarians are really looking for when it comes to on-farm tech, and I focused on how better training and documentation can unlock the full potential of the tools we already have.

Key takeaway: It’s not just about flashy tools like drones and AI (though they’re exciting!). True progress means using technology in every aspect of the dairy, from employee management to animal care. We can be just as innovative with our training and communication strategies as we are with our sensors and software.

Thanks to Precision Dairy for bringing us into this important conversation and to everyone working to strengthen the connection between farms, veterinarians, industry, and ultimately, the consumer.

Recently I was featured in a FarmHER Dairy Month Spotlight!

In this piece, I share what it means to be a dairy veterinarian, why I’m passionate about the people and animals in this industry, and even a few fun facts—like my love of hot chocolate and my go-to overboots for farm visits.

It’s a joy to be part of a community that celebrates the hard work and heart behind dairy. Huge thanks to for highlighting the women who help keep the industry moving forward.
