Growing up on the outskirts of Cheyenne, Wyoming on a bison ranch, Dr. Shutter is no stranger to hard work. She learned to ride and train horses at a young age, allowing her many fun and unique opportunities over the years (ask her about her camel training experiences). She was involved in 4-H and Cheyenne Frontier Days for much of her youth. 

Always knowing she wanted to be a veterinarian, she obtained her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wyoming and her doctorate from Washington State University. Dr. Shutter has been practicing veterinary medicine in the Black Hills since 2016. When not working, you will find Dr. Shutter spending time with her family riding horses, hiking, or traveling.
