Mallory Offner decided at a young age that she wanted to be a veterinarian, which combined her love of science and animals. Raised in Virginia, Mallory was a frequent volunteer at the local SPCA, before relocating to Florida to attend the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. Her passion for helping both animals and people continued beyond veterinary school with an internship at the San Diego SPCA.

Dr. Offner could not stay away from Florida for long, and has continued her involvement in nonprofit work in the Tampa area. Her professional interests include surgery, pediatrics, infectious diseases, and helping the underserved in the community. In her spare time, Dr. Offner takes advantage of the Florida sunshine with hiking, kayaking, and beach time with her boxer dog, "Ellie." She also enjoys harboring temporary houseguests in the form of homeless critters through local rescue groups.
