Dr. Paul was born and raised in San Diego, CA, and received her DVM degree from Western University of Health Sciences in southern California. She completed both her rotating and specialty surgical internships at a VCA in San Diego, before moving to Minnesota to finish her surgical residency at the University of Minnesota. In her free time, she enjoys drawing and painting, specifically painting pet portraits, music and collecting records, and reading. Dr. Paul also enjoys spending time with her two cats (Howl and Calcifer), and her corgi (Juggernaut). She is excited to move to the Pacific Northwest with her husband, as she also has family in the area, and wants to do more outdoors things.
