Dr. Miriam was born and raised in Halifax, and received her BSc in Biology from Mount Saint Allison University in 2009.  After taking some time to travel, she received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the Ontario Veterinary College in 2017.  After graduation , she completed a year-long internship in small animal medicine and surgery at a specialty referral practice in Toronto, and then worked as an emergency veterinarian at the Toronto Veterinary Emergency Hospital. 

But After 10 years away, Miriam has happily returned to Nova Scotia with her husband and wiggly pup Alta.  When not in the clinic, Miriam enjoys baking, music, hiking and gardening.
