Dr. Hageman graduated from the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2004. Having grown up in Port Orchard, WA, she was glad to return to the Puget Sound area when she started working for VCA Pacific Avenue Animal Hospital in 2009. Her area of special interest is in avian and exotic animal medicine, but she also enjoys working with her canine and feline patients! She has a rescue dog named Rusty, a cockatiel named Charlie, a blue-crowned conure named Myra, and a horse named Reba. She spends most of her time outside of work riding her horse, which she competes in 3-day eventing.
