Robyn graduated from OVC in 1996.  Her very first job was at the Owen Sound Veterinary Clinic where she had the privilege of working under the mentorship of both Dr. Marie McKibbin and Dr. Kris Harris.  She is delighted to return here after recently retiring from a 16 year career with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

Robyn has had a diverse career in veterinary medicine. The majority of her clinical career has been spent in companion animal practice with a short stint in mixed practice.  She has worked at small animal practices, a cat clinic and emergency clinics in Ontario.  In 2000, Robyn moved to the UK with her family. During the four years there, she worked for a veterinary charity, which is the biggest employer of veterinarians in the UK.  This experience is provided tremendous clinical experience.  As well, she worked doing animal inspections for the UK government during the Foot and Mouth Disease crisis of 2000.

Robyn enjoys the same variety within her family as she has with her career. She has 2 grown children, two grown dogs, two grown cats and one grown horse and one half grown horse.  She has recently been able to achieve a life long dream of having a horse…. and even riding one.
