Dr. Kurtz began working in the veterinary field as an assistant/technician in 2012 before becoming a veterinarian in 2019. Dr. Kurtz wanted to be a veterinarian for as long as she can remember. From a young age, she felt a strong bond with animals and loved caring for them in any way possible. According to Dr. Kurtz, the best part about working in the veterinary field is being able to work as a team with other passionate veterinary professionals to improve the lives of animals and educate clients on the important links between human and animal health.

Born and raised in Michigan, Dr. Kurtz recently relocated to Florida with her fiancé, Marcel, their Labrador retriever named Leonardo, and their three cats named Eleanor Rigby, Ted Mosby, and Addison Montgomery.
