Meaghan is an Orange County native who earned her Bachelor of Science from California State University, Fullerton. After beginning her career in human wellness and exercise physiology, she transitioned into veterinary medicine in 2020 when an opportunity allowed her to combine her passion for helping others with her love of animals.

Meaghan began working primarily with dogs and cats in high-volume vaccination clinics before expanding into high-volume spay and neuter medicine in 2023. Through this work, she became increasingly aware of how many pet owners struggle to access affordable basic veterinary care and developed a strong passion for making preventive and essential services more accessible within her community.

Her work in veterinary medicine also led her into animal rescue, where she helps stray and at-risk cats throughout Orange County receive medical care, rehabilitation, and the opportunity to find loving forever homes. She is especially passionate about preventive care, population control, animal welfare, and helping bridge the gap between veterinary medicine and rescue.

Outside of work, Meaghan enjoys taking her cats on walks, staying active and exercising, visiting local farmers markets, and hosting adoption events for rescued animals.
