Born and raised in sunny Southern California, Dr. Wu is thrilled to join Tier 1's team after working in Orange County as a small animal and exotics practitioner. She received her Bachelor of Science in Molecular Environmental Biology from UC Berkeley and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at UC Davis. As an undergraduate, she participated in research studying vocal development and language in Green-Rumped Parrotlets. Dr. Wu has worked with a variety of species, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, rodents, and even octopi and hyenas!

Dr. Wu has a strong interest in exotics, surgery, feline medicine, nutrition, and nonprofit work. She actively volunteered at several organizations as a student and as a practitioner. She hopes to one day direct a shelter with a concurrent cat cafe.

Dr. Wu lives with two cats who frequently accompany her on outdoor adventures. During her free time, she greatly enjoys outdoor recreation, culinary arts, reading, birdwatching, and bluegrass music.
