Born and raised in Western New York, Dr. Garvey received her Bachelor's degree and DVM from Cornell University. After completing two surgically intensive internships in California, Dr Garvey relocated to the Pacific Northwest to start her career in general practice. Though she loved her time in Washington, she was thrilled to return home to New York to accept a position at Lollypop Farm. She enjoys being able to care for animals and promote animal welfare through Lollypop Farm's education program as well as through traditional and social media platforms. She recently became a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist through the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society. Outside of work, Christine enjoys hiking, Crossfit, and horseback riding. She can also be found relaxing with her cat Bridget, her greyhound Cami and her quarter horse Red.
