Dr. Tiarra Spencer was born and raised in Houston, Texas. She received a Bachelors and Masters of Biology from Texas Southern University. After graduating, she decided to attend Louisiana State University to complete her lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian. She has two zebra finches (Skye and Uno), multiple dog cousins (Sadie, Max, and Watson), and one horse cousin (Blue Boy). Her interests not only lie in cat and dog medicine, but also in exotic animal medicine. She currently volunteers with the Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Coalition, and will in the future, re-establish volunteering with the BARC animal shelter. She is very excited to join the Long Drive family and grow with them.
