Baton Rouge & Surrounding Areas

I am a Louisiana native - raised in Sunset, LA as a child and later moved with my family here to Baton Rouge. I graduated from LSU with a bachelor's degree in Animal Science and attended veterinary school at LSU School of Veterinary Medicine immediately afterwards (Go Tigers!). After graduating, I made the decision to leave Louisiana and make a new home in Nashville where I began working in clinical practice. Very soon after starting my career, it became clear to me that the appointments I loved the most were end of life care and euthanasia. That sounds a little crazy to most people, but for me, it was where I knew I belonged. Guiding families through such a difficult journey is one of the most fulfilling jobs there is and providing a peaceful experience through those final moments is truly an honor. So, I joined Lap of Love in Nashville. 

When I decided it was time to leave Nashville and move back home to Baton Rouge, my only condition was that I remain with Lap of Love and continue to help pets transition at home with their families. 

When we take our oath as veterinarians, it is very clearly stated that we are to relieve suffering. This career path is the epitome of that oath and a gift that only we as veterinarians can utilize. No one ever wants to say goodbye to their loved one, though saying goodbye in a familiar and loving environment is one of the greatest gifts we can give. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to guide so many wonderful families through this path.
