Dr. Boyajian was born and raised in Kansas but has called Oregon home for many years now. She has been involved in the veterinary world for more than 15 years since starting as a "kennel kid" and worked hard at achieving her veterinary license and becoming a full-fledged doctor. Dr. Boyajian enjoys the many species she has the opportunity to call patients at Bailey's, from farm animal production to canine/feline preventative medicine to the husbandry of exotic pets and equine injuries; it is never the same day and that's what keeps things exciting. When she isn't working, she enjoys being outdoors (rain or shine), improving her angling, hiking the coast with her dachshund named Todd, and enjoying the many facets Oregon has to offer [citation].
