Dr. Rea grew up in Foxfield, Colorado, and received her doctorate of veterinary medicine from Colorado State University in 2025. With both her dad and uncle being veterinarians, she was able to experience the field firsthand growing up, and she was always taking in stray or abandoned animals, including ducks, rabbits, kittens, and more.
Her veterinary interests include preventative care, feline medicine, and the human animal bond. She was drawn to Homestead because of the variety of animals we see, and she is excited to be a part of this well-respected team.
Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband, Aidan, playing pickleball, and hanging out with their five cats, Binx, Crumpet, May, June, and Bogdan, a fish, and a tarantula named Tulip.
