Meet Caitlin Romero!
Caitlin was born in Kenner, and moved a few times in her early life. She graduated from Northshore High School in Slidell in 2012. She attended Southeastern Louisiana University, then decided to get her Paralegal Studies degree from Baton Rouge Community College. She works at Kat Vet as the Operations Manager. She fosters many animals at all times, but she has 2 dogs, Cooper and Ollie. They are obviously both rescues!
We want to thank Caitlyn for spending some time with us and letting us get to know about her life and her love of the area.
Q: What led you to your current career?
A: I worked at Hogan Attorneys for four years, and then I got the opportunity full-time at Kat Vet. I love animals! In my role, I coordinate adoptions, organize events, arrange fosters, secure volunteers, update social media, and, of course, take care of the animals.
Q: What is your favorite restaurant in the area, and what do you like to get there?
A: Commodores Pizza! Their cheese breadsticks are good. I also love the chocolate bombs from The Cocoa Bean Bakery.
