hey there!

I’m Dr. Stacey Cordivano

LET’S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER

Fueled by equal parts coffee and passion, I spend my days managing horses who like to hurt themselves and kids who do about the same thing. 

I am a woman, wife, mother, equine vet and continual learner. I have realized that by focusing on my personal development, rather than just my professional CE, I have been able to get back to a place of happiness within veterinary medicine. I hope to share resources that will allow you to do the same thing.
