Dr. Gibbs graduated from Oklahoma State University, College of Veterinary Medicine, in May of 2018. Originally from Colleyville Texas, she has been a veterinary technician since high school and genuinely loves other people’s pets just as much as she loves her own. Dr. Gibbs was drawn to practice in Emory Texas because of her deep desire to serve in a community that she could plant roots in and call home! At the clinic, she is deeply passionate about the prevention of disease, appropriate nutrition, osteoarthritis management, and the relief of pain and suffering. All of her free time is spent with her dogs- Gauge, her cuddle-bug and Sue, her Rains County rescue. Dr. Gibbs’ hobbies outside of veterinary medicine include any type of hunting, hiking, tennis playing, and all outdoor activities.

In her free time she can be found toting her flock of kids around to various activities or being involved in her church. We are thrilled that for three days out of her week, she calls Emory Veterinary Clinic home.
