In-Home Pet Euthanasia in New Orleans & Surrounding Area

I was born in Iowa, and grew up in several different states before landing in the exciting city of New Orleans, Louisiana. As a child, I always knew I was destined to help animals — I remember drawing pictures of my caretaking abilities in kindergarten. Originally, I pursued the veterinary technician career path, getting my associate’s degree in Illinois, and then my license to become a credentialed veterinary technician. I learned some of my most valuable skills in vet tech school as being a veterinary nurse not only helped me get into veterinary school at Louisiana State University, but also enhanced my veterinary skillset. 

Since graduating from veterinary school, I’ve focused primarily on dogs, cats, and some small mammals. I love being able to celebrate the human-animal bond and make a difference in the lives of pets and their families. In general practice, I had the ability to focus on many different aspects of care to provide the best life possible for pets.

Being part of Lap of Love allows me to provide comfort and peace to pets and their families at a genuinely tough moment, ensuring that they are not alone through this delicate time. As a veterinary technician, I once assisted a veterinarian with the euthanasia of an older dog. The owner was an elderly woman who had driven herself to the appointment. After her beloved companion was euthanized, she was distraught, and no one on our team wanted her to drive herself home. I volunteered to drive her home and I was so grateful I could be there for her in that moment. That helped cement my desire to provide compassion and support during such difficult times for pets and their families.
