When asked about what her favorite part of being a veterinarian is Dr. Tran said, "I think that the diagnostic hunt is the most satisfying aspect of being a veterinarian. It is stressful for owners to perceive an issue with their pets, yet not be able to communicate with them effectively. Therefore, the diagnostic hunt can help us objectively interpret what a patient is presenting. Discovering the root pathology, or at least ruling out other processes, leads us to targeted treatments that ultimately increase quality of life and comfort for both patients and clients alike."

 

During her free time, you can find her rockclimbing, cooking her family's Vietnamese recipes, and doing anything to spoil her dog. She has a 6-year-old pitbull mix named Koekje (Cookie), who she adopted from ACCT on her first day of veterinary school.
