    Veterinarian


    I was born and raised in Shreveport, LA. I love this city and returned here after college to live, work, and raise my wonderful son.

    I have always loved animals and at an early age, always knew I wanted to become a veterinarian. I started by showing dogs at the age of twelve when my fifth grade teacher took me along with her to the dog shows. Since then, I had shown mainly Miniature Pinschers but I also showed different breeds every now and then. I became well known enough that I also got a chance to judge a few dog shows. To me, my dogs, cats, and birds are a huge part of my family and life. So, in my practice, I treat every animal accordingly so.

    I attended LSU Shreveport and LSU Baton Rouge before being accepted to LSU School of Veterinary Medicine. Geaux Tigers!! I graduated with my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1987.  I then returned to Shreveport and opened Brookings Animal Hospital in December of 1988. I first started out in the shopping center on McDaniel Dr. and spent eight years there before expanding to my current and permanent location on North Market St. in 1996.

    From the moment I hung out my shingle ‘til today, it has been nothing but an amazing, magical, and humbling experience. I have gotten the chance to know and love so many folks over the years. I have had the honor to care for their beloved pets and watch their children grow. And now, I get the beautiful opportunity to take care of those “all- grown up” children’s pets and watch their own children grow. I wouldn’t trade this job for the world!!
