Dr. Streck graduated from Texas A&M University with her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2002.  She joined Caring Hands Animal Hospital shortly after graduation. She holds specific interests in soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries, exotic animal medicine, ultrasound, animal behavior and the human-animal bond.  In 2000, she was honored with the PetSmart Human Animal Bond Award for her work with a fledgling student-led service dog organization called Aggie Guide-Dogs and Service Dogs.

Dr. Streck strives to get to know each patient and their owner to better tailor preventative medicine and medical therapies to the animal’s specific needs.  She enjoys working at Caring Hands Animal Hospital because of the high medical standards employed by the doctors and staff.  She feels our patients enjoy cutting edge veterinary medicine, as well as the personalized attention every pet deserves.

When she is not at work, Dr. Streck enjoys spending time with her family.  Her human family members include her partner, Lisa, and their son, Garrett.  Her animal family includes a Border Collie mix named Kelsey, a yellow Lab named Levi, and two cats, Cinder and Klondike.  Dr. Streck also owns two rescued rabbits, Benjamin and Clover, and a Senegal parrot named Sprout.  Her canine and human family members enjoy many outdoor activities together, including hiking and camping.

Dr. Streck strongly believes in animal rescue, and most of her pets are rescue animals.  Additionally, she volunteers her time fostering Border Collies in need of homes.  She especially has a soft spot for special-needs dogs, and she has fostered two dogs recovering from hip surgery, as well as one recovering from a front leg amputation. These dogs enjoyed the shelter of her home for several months, and then went on to find permanent homes with their new forever families.
