Dr. Schmidt and her husband have two adorable daughters, one grandma cat named Clover, a bunny named Cool Ranch, and a 3 legged Boston terrier named Pepper Debra. Clover is a lap cat with dog tendencies who greets her owners at the door, plays fetch, and will come when called (except if the children are near because…safety). Her interests include counter surfing, dietary indiscretion, and sleeping. Debra is the sweetest girl and adores the tiny humans but is so anxious she can’t walk on wood floors without her doggy crocs and gives Dr. Schmidt a thorough understanding of what it means to be an owner of a dog with allergies.

Outside of work, Dr. Schmidt enjoys spending time (ideally outside if it’s not cold) with her family and pets, as well as running and biking. She’s also never been known to turn down good bourbon or a barrel-aged stout.
