Dr. Wade joined Capitol Illini in May 2010. She grew up in Rushville, IL, a small town located an hour northwest of Springfield. Growing up, Dr. Wade always knew she wanted to be a veterinarian. To gain experience, she began working in a veterinary clinic during high school and has assisted in a variety of veterinary practices since, including having worked for a board certified veterinary dentist. Through her experiences, Dr. Wade has developed a special interest in internal medicine, dermatology, and dentistry. Dr. Wade received her bachelor's degree in biology from Millikin University in Decatur, IL and graduated with honors from the University of Illinois College Of Veterinary Medicine. During veterinary school, Dr. Wade enjoyed keeping busy with various organizations and clubs. She was particularly active in Omega Tau Sigma, an organization that raised money for local charities and promoted public awareness of veterinary medicine. Dr. Wade resides in Springfield with two cats, Starr and Haylee, and her leopard gecko Neeka.
