Aubrie stumbled on veterinary medicine, originally going to school to be a special education teacher. She got her first job in a kennel at 20 and fell in love. After almost 20 years, she can't imagine doing anything else. Aubrie's philosophy is to treat all of the pets as if they are her own. She wants them to know no matter how scared or sick they are, someone is there for them. She has compassion and understanding for everyone [citation].
