Dr. Shelby Drake grew up in Girdwood, AK. Much time was spent outside hiking, biking and adventuring. She always had animals around growing up so she gravitated towards veterinary medicine. She went to veterinary school at St. George's University on the isle of spice and was sent to Oklahoma State University to finish up her clinical year of school. She picked up two of the best souvenirs along the way. Bo, a Pothound from Grenada, and Kovu, a Siberian Husky from Oklahoma. (What's a Pothound you ask? She'll be happy to explain). Dr. Drake graduated from St. George's in May 2020. After being away at school, she drove up the ALCAN and hasn't looked back since.
