Stephanie was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. She spent summers with her dad, who is also a vet, in central Arkansas. Stephanie is officially an "old dog" having graduated from Texas A& M Vet School in 1999. From there, she completed a one year equine internship in northern California, and practiced on horses in the same area for the next three years. While she loved working with horses, she most enjoyed sports and internal medicine. She transferred this love to small animal lameness and internal medicine when she moved back to Dallas and joined a multi doctor small animal practice. After ten years in Dallas at the same practice, she and her husband pursued the dream of living in Austin. In Austin, she worked for seven years at Brykerwood Veterinary Clinic and Austin Vet Hospital for a year. She absolutely loves forming lasting, meaningful relationships with clients and pets. Trust and communication are hallmarks of her practice. She is very excited to join Allandale Vet Clinic and continue building lifelong connections. Surgery and dental are special areas of interest. Stephanie and her husband, Jeremy, added some two legged children, Jackson and Charlie, to their four legged loves, Jojo and Scarlet, to round out the absolute wonderful chaos. She adores Austin, especially hiking and drinking a beer watching the sun go down. In her infrequent downtime, she enjoys yoga and dancing to 80's music in her living room.
