Dr. Hudson joined Southview Animal Hospital in May 2020 after receiving her DVM from Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Prior to this, she graduated from St. Olaf College with a bachelors in biology and environmental studies. Her favorite part about veterinary medicine is forming relationships with clients & their furry family members; however, she also thoroughly enjoys both domestic and international wildlife medicine. Some of her favorite memories of veterinary school include working on a big game reserve in South Africa, caring for baby howler monkeys in the jungle of Costa Rica, and learning how to rehabilitate wild waterfowl at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of MN! She’s excited to translate this into a clinical setting and learn more from the exotics veterinarians here at Southview. Outside of the clinic, Dr. Hudson lives near Lake Nokomis and enjoys live music, coffee shops, anything with floral print, and spending time with her two cats (Mabel & Darwin).
