Libbey has always been drawn to animals, but didn’t pursue vet med until adulthood. She earned her Bachelor’s degree from Central Michigan University before obtaining her Master’s from Grand Valley, both in Dietetics. During this time, she became a dog walker and started dog sitting for various families. Soon after, she saw an employment opportunity at her local vet clinic and took the leap. Although she wishes she’d pursued vet med long ago, she’s extremely happy with the career path she’s chosen at EVC! Libbey and her fiancé adopted their pit bull, Wesley, in 2021 and their lives have revolved around him ever since. She has plans to one day foster dogs and would love to adopt a senior dog!

She loves that there is always something to be learned.
