After graduating, she proceeded to gain 6 years of experience in the veterinary field. She’s had 5 years of experience in general practice veterinary, and 1 year in emergency veterinary.

She enjoys playing video games with her partner, and also loves to play music, typically 80s rock/hair bands, and she sings and dances around the house. While she’s singing and dancing, odds are she is also doing house chores or baking up a delicious dessert. Outside of the house, April and her partner enjoy hiking. They have gone on several adventures so far, with their favorite place being Sharon woods. April feels most at peace with nature. To her, it’s the best way to relax.
