Mardi Gras or Jazz Fest?
My husband and I both ride in Tucks. I have a grand time decorating plungers and even crocheting some custom throws – it is an all year project.
What brought you to NOLA?
My first visit to NOLA was in high school. My older brother was presenting a poster at a conference as an undergraduate lab assistant and my parents used the opportunity for a family trip. To be honest, prior to that trip I do not think that I had ever heard of the city before. It was between Mardi Gras and St Patrick’s Day just before Katrina – I instantly fell in love. I remember being stunned by a palm tree at the airport and continued to be in awe of the jazz music, the architecture, and the culture of the city. A few years later when I was looking into college there were three options for my choice of undergraduate degree – two schools in the snow or Tulane. No contest. I moved into my dorm in August 2007 and have considered NOLA home ever since.
I knew I wanted to become a vet..
I found a kitten with respiratory infection in my backyard the summer before sixth grade. Prior to this I did not know the world of Veterinary Medicine existed. I became fascinated while nursing him back to health and started to shadow the same small town vet every opportunity I had during career days. I continued to do so even during summer holidays during my veterinary studies.
