It was a collection of moments that helped Dr. Munguia fall in love with the veterinary field and drove her to be a part of it. When she was younger, all she knew was that she wanted to do something related to healthcare. During her undergraduate career at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Dr. Munguia tried working with various research labs ranging from dairy nutrition to bird ecology and evolution. These experiences furthered her desire to work with animals, but it wasn’t until she started working in a small animal clinic that she knew she needed to be a part of this field. Dr. Munguia was later accepted to veterinary school, and it was one of the best decisions she’s ever made. Being able to work with animals, people, and medicine were always a big goal for her, and she so thankful this field has allowed all of those things to happen.

Dr. Tracy Wachbrit grew up in Los Angeles, CA, and graduated from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in 2020. She always had an interest in science and physiology as a child, routinely participating in science fairs and taking elective science courses long before college.

As a teenager, Dr. Wachbrit performed in dressage shows and eventually rode and trained Thoroughbred racehorses while pursuing her first college degree in Equine Science. Though she began her college career with an interest in horses, Dr. Wachbrit found during vet school that she loved working on various species, including but not limited to cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, goats, horses, and small “pocket pet” mammals. Her areas of interest include neurology, cardiology, virology, exotic animal medicine, and client education.
