Georgetown, IN
President
Dr. Kristi Kantz grew up in Troy, MI. She became interested in veterinary medicine as a career through
her involvement in horses and working at a small local boarding facility. She received her Bachelor of
Science at Wayne State University and her DVM degree from Michigan State University in 1998. She was
a member and held a variety of leadership positions as a student in SCAVMA, the International
Veterinary Association, and the student chapter of AAEP.
A job opportunity that included medical student loan disbursement for her husband (family physician)
required a move to Southern Indiana in 2001 and they never looked back. Currently, they are almost
empty nesters with 3 children in college. Dr. Kantz is currently a small animal practitioner in Southern
Indiana.
Dr. Kantz became involved in the IVMA when she suffered a pretty significant case of burnout and was
looking for new ways to be inspired by the profession. The IVMA has provided the perfect opportunity
to collaborate with fellow veterinarians on issues facing our profession. She is passionate about
mentoring young professionals, work-life balance, and addressing student debt. In her free time, she still
loves to ride her horses, walk her dogs, travel, and spend time with her family.
