Following graduation from UT College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Bridges moved to Clarksville and pursued mixed animal practice from 2020-2022. While in private practice, she fell in love with cardiology and decided to change her career path to pursue a cardiology residency program. In 2023 she completed a rotating internship at Nashville Vet Specialists (NVS) and stayed on as an emergency veterinarian until joining UTCVM in July of 2024 as a Small Animal ECC Clinical Instructor. She spends her free time learning about cardiology. Outside of work, she also enjoys spending time at the gym with her husband or relaxing at home with her two dogs (Goldie and Loki) and two cats (Martin and Watson).
