Dr. Dunham is a proud New Jersey native, having grown up in Lawrenceville, NJ. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Biology from Arcadia University before pursuing her veterinary education at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, completing her clinical rotations at the University of Illinois. Dr. Dunham is passionate about both learning and teaching, with particular interests in behavior, endocrinology, and dermatology.

Throughout her career, Dr. Dunham has demonstrated a commitment to growth and excellence. She began as an Associate Veterinarian and quickly advanced to Chief of Staff at Banfield Pet Hospital. She then joined IndeVets, where she served as the Area Medical Director for NJ, NY, CT, and RI. Now, she is excited to continue her professional journey at Hunterdon Hills Animal Hospital.

Dr. Dunham resides in Hunterdon County with her husband, Steve, their three cats—Taco, Salem, and Murphy—and their beloved dog, Peanut. 

When she’s not at the clinic, Dr. Dunham enjoys outdoor adventures like kayaking, rock climbing, and scuba diving. Yet, she’s just as happy spending a cozy rainy day on the sofa, reading alongside her husband and their furry companions.
