Veterinarian Overview
I grew up in San Antonio but moved to Cibolo in 2013. I have wanted to be a vet ever since I can remember because I loved animals and wanted to help them. As IÍve gotten older and a little wiser, I realize itÍs not just a love for animals that makes me continue to want to be a vet. Being a vet is like solving a mystery from the clues the animal gives you in their behavior. It is so rewarding for me to form a team with the client and solve the mystery! I am honored to be able to voice ñwhat hurtsî for the animal. I also love that there are options in veterinary medicine. Coming up with a treatment plan that fits the animalÍs needs and the ownerÍs budget makes each day as a veterinarian unique. Through my education, IÍve also become wiser about the fact that not just the sick and hurting come to me. ItÍs my duty to share my knowledge with clients about how to prevent illness and disease in not only their pets but also themselves. When I was in high school, I began working for a vet and loved it! I attended Texas A&MGig ïem Aggies and completed my undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science & fell in love my husband, who is now also a veterinarian, Chris Knowlton. Chris and I were married 3 months before attending Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine on the beautiful island of St. Kitts in the Caribbean. (St. Kitts was one of the top 10 places to see in 2011 so let me know if you are planning a trip & I can suggest some island hot spots!) For our clinical year of vet school, we attended Oklahoma State Veterinary School. While I was on the surgery rotation, a lady brought in a Blue Heeler because the dog was a stray and had been limping outside her work for a couple of weeks. GeorgiaÍs elbow was broken so the surgeons at OSU decided to amputate and put her into the shelter program. Of course I couldnÍt let that happen after taking care of her in ICU and watching her hop around in a ñcone of shameî and now we have a tripod!
