Veterinarian
Dr. McLaughlin is an Orange County native and began her journey into veterinary medicine in 2016 while volunteering at a local animal shelter. While in college, she began working at a veterinary clinic and fell further in love with veterinary medicine.
Dr. McLaughlin received a bachelors of science in Animal Science from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. After graduating, she joined the Newport Harbor Animal Hospital team as a veterinary assistant and went on to attend Western University of Health Sciences to earn her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine, graduating with highest honors. During veterinary school, Dr. McLaughlin developed an interest in holistic medicine and became certified in small animal acupuncture from Chi University.
She is very excited to return to Newport Harbor Animal Hospital as an associate veterinarian.
When Dr. McLaughlin is not at work, she loves to hike, read, cook and bake new foods! She is the proud pet mom to her adorable Australian Cattle Dog mix, Maxine, and feisty black cat, Luna.
