Dr. Bourgeon has always had a passion to help better the lives of animals. After MANY years of studying vet med, she is finally a doctor! She has worked at various veterinary clinics, zoos, wildlife centers, farms, and schools which all enabled her to gain so much experience and knowledge.

Dr. Bourgeon started working as a tech and vet assistant at El Gato Veterinary Hospital back in 2019, and has loved every minute of it! The care given to the animals is the standard she believes most vet clinics ought to have. “The doctors and other staff members are incredibly kind and brilliant to work with. I continue to learn every day with the help of El Gato which strengthens my love for meeting and working with new animals as well as their families.”
