Fun Fact: I have always been fascinated with the "helping" professions, especially those in law enforcement. For many years, I was focused on becoming an FBI agent. I wanted to be Agent Todd! As for my hobbies, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, and gardening. I have a large garden in my backyard and dozens of houseplants!

Dr. Libby Coleman Todd, a native of Birmingham, Alabama, is a graduate of Mountain Brook High School, Mississippi State University, and the Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Todd received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Mississippi State University in 1999.
