Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice & In-Home Euthanasia

Growing up in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana (the crawfish capital of the world!), I spent my time outdoors, basically in the middle of a swamp. As a child, I loved animals of all kinds- I was the kid who brought home strays, frogs, and all kinds of bugs.

I attended the University of Louisiana at Lafayette for undergraduate school, and then Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine. My passion has always been shelter work and helping pets find loving homes. I also spent years working in emergency veterinary medicine as well in general practice. I have helped many pet owners navigate very difficult times and make hard decisions for their pets. Most of all, emergency medicine helped me understand what it's like to lose a beloved pet.

I lost my own boy, Jax, very suddenly to undiagnosed juvenile onset diabetes. He passed away years ago, but I'm still heartbroken and I think of him often. That experience has changed my outlook on veterinary medicine, and the care I provide to owners— especially when I listen to their concerns, as that was the most important thing to me when my cat got sick.

In-home euthanasia allows pets to pass where they are comfortable and relaxed, instead of having the stress of being brought to a clinic for the last time. I feel honored to provide this comforting service to pets and their families.

Outside of work, I am an avid gardener—I love all plants and being outside. I also love traveling and I want to see every country!
