Michaela is interested in rural mixed animal practice with an emphasis on equine medicine. Her experiences growing up in the Texas hill country fostered the importance of access to veterinary care.
Outside of veterinary medicine, Michaela enjoys hiking, fishing, hunting, and spending time outdoors. Her love of animals continues to inspire her pursuit of a career, where she hopes to make a meaningful impact on animal health and rural communities.
