Dr. Kate was born and raised in rural south-central PA and is thrilled to be able to serve the community she grew up in. Dr. Kate has been obsessively involved with horses since the age of 9, exploring many aspects of equine sports including 4-H, trail riding, hunter-jumpers, driving, eventing and most recently, endurance riding. Her joy is horses, but she also loves almost anything with four legs.

Dr. Kate took a non-traditional course in her education by first completing an AA at Harrisburg Area Community College before transferring to Shippensburg University to complete a BS in Biology. While applying to vet school, she also completed an MS in Biology with a Master’s thesis entitled “The Prevalence of Tick-borne Pathogens in South Central Pennsylvania and Surrounding Regions”. Dr. Kate earned her DVM degree from Western University of Health Sciences in California. WesternU’s unique curriculum of problem-based, case-based learning and two full years of clinical experiences has helped to prepare her for a sole-practitioner, ambulatory practice.

Dr. Kate has been doing equine dentistry for 15 years and is excited to finally be able to offer her clients and patients full service veterinary care as well. She is licensed in PA and MD and can draw Coggins and write health certificates in both states. Dr. Kate also works at Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter one day a week doing spays and neuters.

In her spare time, Dr. Kate enjoys riding and competing her POA, Addie and her Quarab, Lawrence in Endurance. (Source)
