Carolyn grew up in Brookfield, IL, and her extended family would always joke that the house was like a zoo: they lived with two dogs, a pair of cats, a guinea pig, two ferrets, a hamster, six parakeets, and multiple tanks full of fish!

Carolyn has been caring for animals all her life, and working in the veterinary profession was simply the perfect fit. Medically, Carolyn enjoys cardiology, dermatology, and learning more about various animal species and behaviors. Her favorite part of every shift, though, is being able to make a nervous pet feel comfortable.

In her free time, Carolyn is an avid painter and loves using oils and acrylics. She lives with her boyfriend, Rob, their guinea pig, Ruby, and their rescue pup, Eve.
