Dr. Bridgette Wilson grew up as a military child and moved frequently, but considers Southern Illinois home. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Union University before attending Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine.
While in veterinary school, she was selected for the U.S. Army’s Health Professions Scholarship Program and commissioned as a Captain in the U.S. Army’s Veterinary Corps upon graduation.

She is Fear Free Certified and holds the Certificate of Training and Counseling (CTC) from The Academy for Dog Trainers.
