For as long as she can remember, Dr. Manna has had a heart for animals. That passion led her to the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine, where she graduated in 2007, and soon after, she found her first veterinary home at Glen Ellyn Animal Hospital. In 2018, her journey expanded as she also partnered with the wonderful team at Carriage Animal Hospital, where she continues to grow and lead as Managing DVM.

Over the years, Dr. Manna has developed a strong interest in orthopedic surgery and dentistry, but what keeps her excited to come to work each day are the connections she builds with clients and their pets. She loves being a trusted partner in keeping furry family members healthy and happy, and she cherishes the chance to watch her patients grow through every stage of life.

Life outside the hospital is just as full for Dr. Manna. Most of her time is joyfully spent cheering on her twins, Brody and Tessa, in their many sports and activities. When she does get a moment to herself, you’ll likely find her outdoors, exercising, or planning her next travel adventure. At the end of the day, her favorite moments are the simple ones — snuggling up with her two loyal dogs, Gotti and Hopper.
