She attended the University of Kansas on a Track and Field scholarship and then obtained her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 2006 from Kansas State College of Veterinary Medicine. Following graduation, Dr. Stucky and her husband moved back to Reno where she worked at a general practice hospital. During this time she also interned at Animal Emergency and Specialty Center (AESC).

She has developed a special focus in oncology with other interests that include soft tissue surgery and internal medicine.
