From a very young age, Dr. DeNuzio knew that becoming a veterinarian was her life’s calling. Growing up, she surrounded herself by animals at every opportunity, from horseback riding and raising pets of all sorts to working on a whale watch boat in high school. She received a dual Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and Zoology from Michigan State University, graduating Phi Beta Kappa. After undergrad, filled with a strong desire to help others and live abroad, she joined the Peace Corps and spent a year and a half living and working in rural Uganda. She graduated from The Ohio State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2017 with a focus in small animal medicine, and was the sole recipient of the Excellence in Small Animal Emergency Medicine Award from her graduating class of 162 students.

She began her career working as an emergency veterinarian prior to joining Kings Veterinary Hospital in 2018. While her main professional interests include surgery, emergency medicine, pain management, and neurology, one of her favorite aspects about being a veterinarian is that she gets to do a little bit of everything! She loves developing relationships with clients and educating pet owners by providing detailed yet easy-to-understand explanations of what their pets are going through.

When not at work, she enjoys spending time with her husband and their twin boys (age 6). They have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Cannoli, and a cat named Ziti. She enjoys traveling, photography, reading, and DIY home projects.
