Stefan Gordon earned his BVSc veterinary degree from Massey University in New Zealand in 2015. After graduating, he continued working at the university in their anesthesia department before moving to San Diego and completing a small animal rotating internship at the VCA Emergency Animal Hospital & Referral Center. After his internship he worked as a staff emergency veterinarian for several years, first at the University of Saskatoon in Canada, and later after moving back to sunny San Diego.
