Laura joined the Animal Dentistry & Oral Surgery team in October 2022. Laura was raised in Northern Virginia and has always known that she wanted to work in the veterinary field. She attended Brigham Young University and earned a Bachelor’s degree with an emphasis in Veterinary Technology in 1998. She came home to Virginia after graduation and achieved her Veterinary Technician’s License the following year. She has spent many years working in general practice and in 2018 decided it was time for a further challenge. She moved into specialty medicine, working at a Veterinary blood bank and in neurology. She has always had an interest in dentistry and loves to educate clients on the need for quality dental care for our patients. Laura currently lives with her husband, her last son still at home, and her two dogs, Barkley and Gunner. In her free time she loves to sew, watch baseball with her boys, and talk with her daughter and grandbaby over Facetime.
