Dr. Rypalowski graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2012. Upon graduation she moved back home to Timmins to practice veterinary medicine at the clinic where she grew up. Fate then brought her to Barrie where she practiced emergency medicine for two years at the Veterinary Emergency Clinic of York Region and three years at the Huronia Veterinary Emergency Clinic of Barrie. After the birth of her son Graesen she found working nights challenging and decided to go back to regular practice. The opportunity to practice veterinary medicine in the small town of Penetanguishene reminds her of where she grew up. She has several pets including three Belgian Malinois (Delta, Valkyrie and Nitro), one Dutch Shepherd (Devil), two Ragdolls (Mr. Meowgi and Purrari), two horses (Blaze and Skyy), two rabbits (Marble and Mr. Von Bonz) and several chickens.
