Dr. Franchini was born and raised in Harrisburg, PA but has lived in many different places throughout the US and overseas.
She has been a practicing veterinarian since 2012. She received her BS degree in Animal Sciences from the University of Illinois, her master’s degree in biology from the University of South Carolina and her veterinary degree from St George’s University in Grenada, West Indies doing her clinical year at the University of Minnesota. She settled in Baltimore, MD after coming here for her first job. She met her husband soon after and has remained here since!
As much of a cliché as it sounds, Dr. Franchini had wanted to be a veterinarian for as long as she can remember having had multiple dogs growing up and just having a love of animals in general.
Dr. Franchini has a special interest in soft tissue surgery, neurology and preventative care. She is excited to help Fullerton Animal Hospitals clients’ pets live their best lives!
In her spare time, Dr. Franchini enjoys traveling, skiing, yoga, reading and DIY projects. She and her husband Steve are the proud parents of a Goldendoodle named Nacho and a three legged Blue Heeler named Trike who are both therapy dogs. They are also owned by three cats: Isosceles, a mildly chunky but perfect DSH, Mr. Piggy, a needy Sphynx and Bucket, a one-eyed beauty that was rescued and nursed back to health by the loving staff of her previous clinic after being found on the side of the road (in a BUCKET) by a good Samaritan.
