Laura Eslinger had dreamed of being a veterinarian for as long as she could remember. A native of Delaware, Laura and her family moved to Bradenton in 1991, where she attended Southeast High School. After graduation, Laura attended the University of South Florida where she received her B.S. in biology with emphasis in pre-veterinary studies. After spending 3 years working as a veterinary assistant, she knew it was time to make her dream come true.
