Dr. Rodriguez is a sunny native of southern Florida. While obtaining her Bachelor’s Degree in Biological Science from Florida Atlantic University she participated in conservation research with gopher tortoises. She went on to study veterinary medicine at Mississippi State University where she adopted her cat Doja and her sweet dog Dozer who she neutered during her surgical training. Her beautiful, adopted stray calico kitty Harrah has been with her since adolescence. She is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) with an interest in small animals and exotics.

Dr. Rodriguez is a self-proclaimed foodie with a passion for traveling. She likes anything except spicy dishes, but her favorites are Thai and Greek cuisine. A trip to Europe is next on her list. Here at home, water related activities such as paddleboarding, kayaking and trips to the beach keep her entertained when she isn’t curled up with a good fiction novel or watching a scary movie.
