While she knew from a very young age that she wanted to be a veterinarian, her time spent on the competition circuit reinforced that desire. Her primary interests include equine sports medicine, imaging, rehabilitation and complementary medicine. In her free time, Alison enjoys painting and spending time outside with her husband, Michael, and their three Labradors.
