Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Katrina Posey grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina, and spent much of her childhood exploring the ecology of the ocean and surrounding marshes. Her father works as a marine biologist, and taught Dr. Posey to love and appreciate the sciences early on in life. By the time she started working with a local veterinarian and volunteering at a shelter during high school, Dr. Posey knew that a career in veterinary medicine was the perfect choice for her! Dr. Posey earned her undergraduate degree in biology and a minor in chemistry from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, then attended North Carolina State Universitys College of Veterinary Medicine to receive her doctorate. She graduated in the spring of 2015, then enrolled in a year-long small-animal rotating internship in Charlotte. In 2016, Dr. Posey returned to the Triangle area to begin her career in general practice, and was happy to become a full-time member of the compassionate and skilled Triangle Veterinary Hospital team shortly afterward. Medically, Dr. Posey is fond of geriatric care and has a special place in her heart for our older, grey-muzzled companions. Shes also passionate about feline medicine, pain management, oncology, and internal medicine. Most of all, Dr. Posey likes passing on her knowledge to loving pet owners so that they can keep their beloved animal friends healthy in the long-term. Outside of her interests in veterinary medicine, Dr. Posey enjoys kayaking, swimming, reading, playing board games with friends, and spending time with her fiancé and pets at home. She has a guinea pig who goes by Moose, as well as two loveable cats: Jezebel is very outgoing, and will talk to anyone as soon as they come in the door; Maddie is the shy one of the pair and prefers to wrestle with her sister or relax in her cat tree.
