Dr. Powers was born and raised on the Oregon coast. She graduated with a degree in Biology from Oregon Tech, and then completed her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) at Oregon State University. She is passionate about preserving the special relationship between people and their pets and nothing excites her more than helping a sick pet become well and reuniting them with their family. Her and her husband have two dogs, one Chihuahua (Thelma) and a mixed breed (Jackson). They love to travel, go hiking and camping along the coast. In her spare time at home, she enjoys gardening and doing crafts.
