She then moved west to Las Vegas, Nevada to start her professional career and although the lights and glitter in the desert were tempting, chose to move back to the south and closer to family in 1998. She practiced at Apex Veterinary Hospital until September 2003 when she joined the Animal Hospital as an associate veterinarian. In January 2009, Dr. Anderson and Dr. Dorsch became co-owners of the Animal Hospital.

Dr. Anderson lives in Carrboro with her crazy dog "Brown Dog", cat "Sugar Cat Sunshine", and goldfish "Phish".

Dr. Anderson's veterinary interests lie in preventative health care, geriatrics and community health care. She strongly believes that with good information and access to appropriate health care and training all domestic animals can have the opportunity to have a loving home and a long healthy life.

She has been the veterinarian for the Orange County Board of Health since 2005. She is an active member of the Orange County Animal Services Board since 2005, and is also an involved board member of Paws 4 Ever (formerly the Animal Protection Society of Orange County) since 2004.

You will most likely find Dr. Anderson walking with her dog on Bolin Creek or jogging through town in her free time. She also enjoys gardening, painting, volunteer work, and spending time with family and friends.
