Mary grew up on a small ranch in Village Mills, Texas, where her family raised show cattle, goats, and horses. She began working in the kennels of her local veterinary hospital at the age of 16, falling in love with veterinary medicine. Originally from Lebo, KS, she grew up on a farm that raised racing Quarter Horses. Her current veterinary interests include small animal & equine preventative care, reproductive medicine, and rehabilitation. In her free time, Mary enjoys hiking and trail riding. She shares her home with a rescued Pitty, named Petey, and a German Shorthaired Pointer, named Trigger.
