Dr. Lynn grew up in Minnesota where she had a wide variety of pets growing up.   She got her bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Carleton College, then went to graduate school at Yale.   After receiving her master's degree, she changed course and decided to follow her true passion of caring for animals.  She graduated in 1997 from UC Davis vet school and started practicing in the East Bay.   Life took her to other states for a while but she ended up back in the Bay Area in 2002, where she has stayed ever since.   Her particular interests are caring for exotics (non- dog and cat species) and working with pets and their people to deepen their human-animal bond.
