Lindsay grew up in the Poconos of Pennsylvania before moving to Charlotte, North Carolina at age 14. From an early age, she was surrounded by a variety of pets including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chickens, goats, horses, rabbits, and hamsters. Her passion for veterinary medicine manifested early; she was often found playing doctor with her stuffed animals and even created a PowerPoint presentation to convince her mom she could responsibly care for a parakeet.
Lindsay’s hands-on experience with animals began at age 12, working at a nearby horse barn and pet sitting. During her teenage years, she volunteered at animal shelters, laying the groundwork for her future career. For undergraduate studies, she attended Clemson University. During her undergraduate years, she worked as a kennel technician and shortly progressed to a veterinary technician assistant. After graduating in 2015, she completed an exciting internship at a large exotic animal facility in Texas, working with lions, tigers, and bears.
Before starting veterinary school, Lindsay worked as a veterinary technician at a county animal shelter, where she headed the heartworm department and served as a surgical veterinary technician for three years. Lindsay is currently attending St. George’s School of Veterinary Medicine, with an expected graduation in 2025.
During her externship, Lindsay is excited to gain more experience with exotic animals and expand her comfort level working with different species.
During her free time, she enjoys binge-watching shows on Netflix and spending time with her own pets: Murphy (a terrier), Oden (a one-eyed cat), and Cecil (a crested gecko).
Lindsay is passionate about client education, drawing from her experience working with low-income families at the county shelter. This experience taught her the importance of compassionate veterinary care and finding ways to help pet owners provide the best possible care while working within their means.
