Dr. Lavender took two years off between her undergraduate and professional studies. During that time, she worked in veterinary medicine in London before returning to Dallas. Once home, she worked at Southwestern Medical Center in the Animal Diagnostic Lab. This experience helped foster an interest in laboratory techniques and diagnostics. Dr. Lavender graduated from Texas A&M University's College of Veterinary Medicine in 2001. After graduation, she worked in a busy general practice in Houston before starting an internship at the Veterinary Emergency Referral Group, Inc. This year long internship focused on internal medicine and critical care. Finally back to Dallas in 2003 after completing her internship, Dr. Lavender has worked in several of the metroplex's general practices and emergency facilities.
