Hi, I’m Brenna! I’m 24 years old and originally from Mesa, Arizona, but I’ve called Tennessee home for the past 20 years. I’ve been working in veterinary medicine for the last 5 years – I got my start as a grooming assistant and quickly found my passion for animal care and advocacy.

Outside of work, I spend my Sundays volunteering with a local shelter, helping with adoption events and community outreach. I’m a proud cat mom to two orange girls, Mingo and Maci. When I’m not in the clinic, you can usually find me with a book or somewhere listening to live music.
