Dr. Roxanna Bree’s professional journey began with a strong educational foundation in journalism and public communications, where she first discovered her passion as a lifestyle journalist. This initial path eventually led her to business school, where she uncovered her true love for science. Fueled by this revelation, she pursued a PhD in metaphysics, paving the way for her studies in naturopathic medicine. However, just a year shy of earning her medicine degree, the COVID-19 pandemic compelled her to leave her education program and home in Hawaii and return to Canada.

Confronted with uncertainty about her future, Dr. Bree courageously redefined her career trajectory. She shifted her focus from naturopathic studies to embark on a second PhD in animal science, guiding her towards her current program.

With a solid background in both medicine and science, Dr. Bree is now on the path to becoming a veterinary nurse and technologist — an essential step before transitioning into a veterinarian specializing in Western medicine. However, ultimately her plan is to evolve into becoming a naturopathic doctor for animals, dedicated to natural animal health, all the while having a base knowledge of Western veterinary medicine.

Throughout her education, she remains committed to her roles as an animal activist and conservationist.

Dr. Bree has made a heartfelt commitment to animal welfare, dedicating herself to a lifelong pursuit of knowledge. She is passionate about continuous education, empowering herself with the skills necessary to be a staunch advocate for animals.

Currently, as an exotic animal caretaker gaining valuable hands-on experience through externships in veterinary clinics, Dr. Bree intends to specialize in exotic animals while building a business aimed at significantly enhancing animal welfare.
