Dr. Baan is from St. Louis, Missouri and graduated with an undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2018 before continuing on to attend their College of Veterinary Medicine, which she graduated from in 2022.

She became a veterinarian because it has been her dream since she was a kid and she gets to help both animals and people. She chose to come to AMCMA because of their values and the people who work there.

In her free time, she enjoys cooking, reading, hiking, cross-stitching, and going on walks with her dog, Panda. She also has a pet betta fish!
