During her surgical residency in South Florida, Dr. Walshe had the opportunity to be trained in a variety of podiatric procedures in areas including trauma and reconstructive surgeries, elective cases, wound care and diabetic limb salvage. Her residency training also allowed her to participate in the Yucatan Crippled Children's project (YCCP), a program sponsored by Barry University and other participating podiatric residency programs, in Merida, Mexico. At the YCCP Dr. Walshe was exposed to a variety of uncommon children's lower extremity deformities, truly invaluable experiences.  Dr. Walshe has a keen interest in diabetic foot care, and believes it takes a team effort by both patient and physician, to keep patients' feet healthy.

Dr. Walshe earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Florida State University (Go Noles!), after which she attended Barry University's School of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery in Miami Shores.  Dr. Walshe is engaged to David, and enjoys dining out, spending time with family and friends, and spoiling her Chihuahua Sofie Elizabeth. In her free time she loves traveling, horseback riding and watching college football. She looks forward to attending some Bucs games once football season rolls around.
