A native of Leesburg, Virginia, Katrina got her start in the veterinary field in high school when she volunteered at a local vet’s office and worked at a pet resort. She grew up a dog lover, surrounded by Huskies, Aussies, Boxers, and Shepherds. Her furry family even included a wolf hybrid. She currently lives with her boyfriend, Larry, and two Aussies and a tabby cat.

Katrina originally planned to be a marine biologist. She loves scuba diving, kayaking, swimming, and hiking. She also enjoys cooking and baking.

Her favorite part of her job is the diagnostic side. It gives her a great deal of pleasure to look into a pet’s symptoms and root out the cause of the problem.
