Dr. Rosen has loved medicine ever since she was in middle school. Anatomy and physiology are so fascinating to her and loves the challenge and problem-solving of working through clinical cases. She’s been around animals her entire life; growing up with dogs, cats, hamsters, and horses. When it was time to pick a career, it just made sense to combine her passions. 

In undergrad, Dr. Rosen worked for a boarding facility associated with a veterinarian for a semester and volunteered at the Atlanta Humane Society. In the summers, she shadowed at her local veterinary offices and spent a summer as a zookeeper intern in Connecticut. After graduating from her undergrad, she worked as a veterinary assistant at a small animal general practice in San Diego for two years. Then she worked as a vet assistant for another year at a small animal general practice before starting vet school. While in vet school, she was the President and VP of the zoo medicine and pathology clubs. During her fourth year of vet school, she completed externships at the Bronx Zoo, San Diego Zoo, Wildlife Center of Virginia, and the Georgia Aquarium. 

Dr. Rosen loves the variety of cases that we see, especially with zoo and exotic medicine. Veterinarians are such versatile clinicians and end up picking up so many skills throughout their careers. She loves working with animals and collaborating with their owners/keepers/trainers to keep their beloved creatures safe and healthy. 

In Dr. Rosen’s free time, she loves cooking, baking, and, in general, is a foodie. She and her husband love going to farmers’ markets and trying new restaurants. She also loves going into the city to see Broadway shows, spending time with family and friends, and loves to do random DIY projects around the house.
