Nancy was always one of those kids that wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up. Her parents were very tolerant of the endless array of sick and injured and orphaned pets and wildlife that she brought home, and the whole family was involved in their care.
Though the cost of veterinary school terrified her, she eventually decided to pursue her dream, and went Colorado State University School of Veterinary Medicine. Though she loves every aspect of veterinary medicine, she is particularly drawn to internal medicine, behavioral management, pain management, acupuncture, herbal medicine, physical rehabilitation, and sports medicine. Integrating these with client and staff education lets her incorporate whole being care into every animal that she sees. She is certified in acupuncture and physical therapy. She has taught other veterinarians acupuncture at Colorado State University and Curacore classes for over 19 years. In her free time, Nancy runs 5K and half marathon distance races and competes in triathlons. Nancy and her dogs have competed in Rally and Obedience and Nosework competitions. Her current Bearded Collies are in training, and will be also trained to run races as a Canicross trained dogs. At home, Nancy loves to garden and train her cats (seriously!) one of whom was a kidney donor to another cat.
