About Us

He has practiced in both the small animal and emergency medicine settings and has special interests in exotic animals and wildlife. He has two fantastic children whom he deeply adores. In his very limited free time, his hobbies include vacillating between playing electric guitar, woodworking, metalworking/welding, and SCUBA diving.

Working in the veterinary field is very exciting and Casey is passionate about growing in the field every day! When she is not at the clinic, she cares for a barn of 15 horses, her wolfdog, her two dogs, and her five cats. Casey’s animals teach her something new every day. In her spare time, she also enjoys riding her horse and training her dogs. She is very close with her friends and family who are also in the animal field, and they all help each other to learn and grow. Casey has completed one semester at Penn Foster to become a Certified Veterinary Technician, and hopes to complete her studies one day in the future. She looks forward to learning more and growing in this career because it’s her life’s passion!

Carrie has been involved in veterinary medicine since she graduated (24 years!) long ago. She has worked in all capacities from kennel work to speciality practice, including surgery and anesthesia for the last 15 years. Carrie looks forward to meeting all of your pet babies and being a part of their lives at VAA.

She started riding horses at the age of 7 and eventually started competing in competition jumping 2 years later, continuing this for 6 more years. As a kid, she would watch every veterinary show she could on Animal Planet and even dissect a few dead snakes from her grandpa’s garden. Catherine has 2 sidekicks, Tank and Chica, and always has one or both of them with her wherever she goes. She works at Lafayette Animal Emergency Clinic on the weekends. In her spare time, she spends her time in the gym weight lifting and competing in Judo.

I was born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana and have lived here all my life. I am married to my wonderful husband of 8 years and I am the proud servant of two mischievous Siamese cats, Lily and Stoney. Passionate about life and all living things, the center of my universe revolves around my family and my friends. I believe that kindness and compassion are the keys to making the world a better place. What I love the most about working at Veterinary Associates of Acadiana is being a part of a wonderful and supportive team as well as playing a great role in caring for owners and their “fur-babies”. It takes very special people to work in veterinary medicine and our clinic is no different and we are  always up for the job. 

When I’m not working, I spend my time dancing, swimming, skating, and spending time with family and friends. I am always up for adventure and I really love new and exciting experiences. My goal is to travel to as many countries as possible and get a taste of all the world’s different cultures. The thing that I am passionate about the most though, is helping people in need. Being there when someone needs me is the best feeling in the world and working here allows me to do just that everyday. Being the bearer of light is my true purpose in life.
