I am a native New Orleanian. I received my undergraduate degree from Louisiana State University and went on to earn my DVM degree from Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1988. After graduating, I worked at Causeway Animal Hospital and The Cat Practice. I took off a few years to start a family and then began relief work for various hospitals and clinics around the New Orleans area. I started doing regular relief for Crescent City Veterinary Hospital in 2009 and joined the team as a full time associate in 2015.
My special interests are feline medicine and internal medicine. I say that the strength of the owner-pet bond and the importance of pets in people’s lives inspire me on a daily basis.
When not at work, I enjoy jogging, hiking and attending Pelican games and relaxing with our 4 cats and 4 dogs!
Mardi Gras or Jazz Fest?
Mardi Gras!
In another life I am pretty sure I was..
a cat!
I knew I wanted to become a vet..
around age 10. A neighbor was a veterinarian who would take me to work once a week to further develop my interest.
If I wasnt so good at my job I would probably be..
an elementary school librarian.
I want people to remember me as..
a fantastic mother to my girls.
