Dr. Katie hails from Sterling, Virginia USA and spent her long course of study in Blacksburg Virginia graduating from both the Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University in Animal & Poultry Sciences with an Equine Emphasis in 2010 and her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in 2014.

In December of 2018, she launched her “Three Bags and A Retriever Initiative” and moved to the United Kingdom with a desire to follow her dream to live and practice veterinary medicine abroad.

Since then, she has served the South Wales communities of both Cardiff & Swansea at the SMART Specialist Veterinary Referrals with a strong passion in neuropathic cases and geriatric/osteoarthritic management.

Now in 2027, Dr. Katie launches her new chapter, “Traveling Vet” which will look to offer comprehensive veterinary acupuncture services (The Harmony Project) and an extensive continuing education initiative for veterinary students and qualified veterinarians alike (The Jiàoyù Project). She also has become newly qualified OCQ(V)-CA and will fulfill OV duties and complete Animal Health Certificates for Companion Animal Travel.

Dr. Katie has a passion for travel, writing, photography, cooking, One Piece and going on frequent road trip adventures with her Border Terrier, Yusuke. She also practices Wu-Style Tai Chi and looks to complete her ABRSM Grade 3 in Violin at the end of the year.
