Born and raised in Colorado, Tatum discovered her passion for veterinary medicine early in life. When she received a Golden Retriever puppy named Dublin for her 11th birthday, she quickly realized he wasn’t as playful as other puppies. After Dublin was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia and underwent surgery on both hips, Tatum accompanied her mom to his weekly physical therapy sessions. This experience inspired her to pursue a career helping animals.
Tatum began working as a veterinary assistant in 2020 and has loved every moment since. Outside of work, she enjoys painting, snowboarding, thrifting, spending time with family, and playing video games. At home, Tatum shares her life with two St. Bernards, Max and Dozer.
