Dr. Moore obtained her Associate’s in Veterinary Technology, and later graduated with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science, both at colleges located in upstate New York. She then earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) from Ross University in St. Kitts. She completed her clinical studies at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana before migrating to Las Vegas. Exotic medicine, surgery, mentorship, and pathology are some of her areas of interest.
Since joining the Lone Mountain team, Dr. Moore held the position of Recruitment Director for a couple of years. She has now assumed the role of Medical Director.
She extends her love for education and mentorship by participating in veterinary community outreach within the Las Vegas area.
