Bree Montana, DVM, CCFP is a small animal practitioner and owner of the Agate Bay Animal Hospital and Dog Gone Crazy boarding/training facilities in North Lake Tahoe, CA. Following the completion of a B.S. in Biology at the University of Cincinnati's McMicken College, Dr. Montana graduated from the Ohio State University's College of Veterinary Medicine with a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 1992. A past member of the external advisory and admissions committees for UC Davis' College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Montana also served as a working member of the VIN Foundation Board.
In 2010, Dr. Montana helped to create the VIN Foundation's innovative Vets4Vets(R) program, a confidential support group providing critical emotional care to veterinarians struggling with all forms of stress/addiction/mental health issues. The program is international and free for all veterinarians and veterinary students.
Working with struggling veterinarians each year, Dr. Montana has gained insight into the habits, choices, and supportive modalities that build resilience and confidence in veterinarians at every stage of their career. Learning to balance the life of a rural solo practitioner, mom, wife, husky wrangler and aspiring dressage queen while coordinating the Vets4Vets(R) program has allowed Dr. Montana to become an expert at thinking outside of the box when advising veterinarians who feel stuck in their careers and personal lives.
Dr. Montana enjoys lecturing on topics at the intersection of personal and professional life balance, including strategies for a healthy mentoring relationship, job seekers' success techniques, and effective communication in the workplace.
