Dr. Lindsey Boudreaux was born and raised in Louisiana.  Shortly after graduating LSU Vet School in 2008, she moved to Los Angeles, California where she did a one year rotating specialty internship in Internal Medicine, Cardiology, and Surgery at Advanced Veterinary Care Center.

 She spent two months gaining experience in conservation medicine and working with large exotics such as lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo, along with several antelope species.  Once back in America, she became the wildlife veterinarian for the California Wildlife Center.
