Dr. Waples has loved animals since a young age - her first word was actually "cat!" She graduated from The University of Vermont in 2005 with a degree in animal science. Afterward, she worked for a non-profit organization in Boston doing research in muscular dystrophy prior to attending Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Waples has worked at several hospitals in the Boston/New Hampshire area over the past 10 years and she is excited to join the Naticook family. Outside of work, she enjoys skiing, playing soccer, doing house projects, and spending time with her husband Andrew, and miniature dachshund Sierra.
