With a longstanding passion for the veterinary field, Dr. Lukito has worked in emergency, general, and exotic vet practices during her university tenure. Her professional interests have evolved to focus on soft tissue surgery and exotic animal medicine. She is dedicated to providing the best care possible to pets of all kinds.

In her leisure time, Dr. Lukito enjoys soaking up the sun with her three red-eared sliders (Miracle, Mochi, Marble) and strumming tunes on the ukulele.
