Since childhood, Dr. McMurray has had a passion for animals. She grew up in Poland, Ohio, a suburb of Youngstown, where she constantly cared for her family pets.  While earning her bachelor’s degree in zoology from Kent State University, she worked as a veterinary assistant. Upon graduating in 2008, she was accepted into Ross University’s School of Veterinary Medicine, located on the tropical island of St. Kitts.  She completed her clinical year at Purdue University and received her doctorate in 2012.

Shortly after graduation, she joined Sandstone Animal Hospital as an Associate Veterinarian. Although she enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine, her clinical interests include preventative care, client education, and internal medicine. In her spare time, Dr. McMurray enjoys traveling (especially to the beach), horseback riding, and spending time with family, friends and her coconut retriever, Hope, a rescue from St. Kitts.
