Fun Facts

Dr. Connelly loves cats. There were 10 cats in her house at one point while she fostered a set of kittens. “There’s always room for one more cat.”

The best advice she’s ever received is “Take care of yourself to be able to care for others.”

The most exotic/interesting place she has been to so far is Angel Falls in Canaima, Venezuela (called “Paradise Falls” in the Disney movie “Up.”)

Not everyone knows that Dr. Connelly dances ballet and has taken classes with the Houston Ballet.

Her guilty pleasure is binge-watching Netflix shows.
