About

Growing up on a small farm in Pennsylvania, Dr. Grenager knew from a young age veterinary medicine was for her. During college she honed her leadership and outdoors skills doing a semester of sea kayaking and glacier mountaineering in Patagonia with the National Outdoor Leadership School, which also kicked off a serious desire to see the world. After graduating from UPenn in 2005, Dr. Grenager did her internship and equine internal medicine residency at Steinbeck Country Equine Clinic on the beautiful central coast of CA. Since then, she’s practiced in California, northern Virginia, Dubai, and most recently Ireland. She joined Zuku Review in 2016 and is thrilled that it allows her to balance her love of editing and teaching with clinical work. These days her laptop facilitates her editing and writing for Zuku, as well as the textbooks and articles on veterinary medicine, from many cool locations.
