Bio

Lori Westmoreland is a veterinarian for the NC Aquariums.  She completed an aquatic medicine internship at National Aquarium Baltimore, and the zoological medicine residency at NC State University College of Veterinary Medicine (NCSU CVM).  She is thrilled to be a part of the medical team providing care to hundreds of species at NC Aquariums.  She is also an adjunct faculty member for NCSU CVM helping to train veterinary students and residents in aquatic medicine.  The best part of the job is that it includes clinical medicine, rescue and rehabilitation, research, and teaching – the best of all worlds!  When she isn’t working, Lori can either be found at home with her own menagerie (cats, guinea pigs, and many fish tanks), or outside looking for a new place to kayak or have an outdoor adventure.
