Ahimsa Wildlife Medicine & Rehabilitation

Dr. Austin completed her undergraduate studies at The University of Iowa, receiving her BA in Journalism & Mass Communication in 2010. In 2013 she became a Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator and made a full-time career change, clinically training as a Veterinary Technician at both a general practice and an ER/specialty clinic. She went on to earn her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State University in 2021. Dr. Austin has been working with wildlife since 2012 and recognized the gray area wildlife care falls into, so she officially founded Ahimsa Wildlife in 2020.
