CO-FOUNDER, CO-CEO
Dr. Finn attended Veterinary School at the University of Pennsylvania after completing her undergraduate degree at Tufts University. Following veterinary school she pursued an internship at Fairfield Equine Associates in Newtown, CT where she developed her love of equine sports medicine and got her first introduction to a holistic approach to veterinary care.
Following her internship, she returned to Pennsylvania where she continued working with sport horses and began her schooling in integrative medicine. After 5 years of practice and completion of her certifications she moved to Colorado where she opened her own highly successful and well-respected, integrative veterinary practice.
Her keen observation of the equine nutritional market and her interactions with clients and fellow veterinarians led her to identify a gap that inspired the creation of Freedlight Performance. As the CO-Founder and CEO, Dr. Finn brings her expertise in veterinary medicine, research, and integrative care to drive the success of this innovative venture alongside her partner, Lucas.
