A native Calgarian, Dr. Liz’s academic career began with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Calgary.  Combining her love of travel and determination to be a veterinarian, Dr. Liz studied at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Kosice, Slovakia.  She graduated, with great distinction, in 2005 as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.  After returning home, Dr. Liz has spent her veterinary career working exclusively with cats (18 years and counting!).  In 2009 she became owner of Wild Rose Cat Clinic.  In December 2012 Dr Liz succeeded in her pursuit of board certification by becoming a diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners in feline practice.  In addition to private practice, Dr. Liz loves to teach and has lectured on topics including cat health, weight management, and communication.  When not focusing on the kitties, she is a busy mom to both her human and fur children (Husband Jeff, Abby and Greyson; cats Utinni and Zeb) and likes to dabble in home renovation projects.
