About

Dr. Brock took the long way to a veterinary career. After graduating with a pre-vet degree from UNH, she worked instead at the intersection of water quality and agriculture for ten years, including a brief stint as a lobbyist. At the ripe old age of 32, she decided her future was in fact meant to be in veterinary medicine. Dr. Brock was a food animal veterinarian for 5 years in Northwestern Vermont before returning to teach undergraduate animal science at UNH. She continues to care for a handful of dairy herds so that she doesn’t lose all those palpating muscles. She lives in Southern Maine with her husband and two rambunctious boys that keep her active and outside.
