Dr. Peltier earned both her undergraduate degree and DVM from Texas A&M University, graduating in 2022. While at Texas A&M, she met her husband Jason, who was born and raised in Angleton. After graduating, Dr. Peltier moved to Angleton where they welcomed their beautiful baby girl in 2024!

In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family and their 2 dogs - Emma a tiny Yorkie with a big personality, and Chief, a friendly yellow lab. Dr. Peltier also enjoys hunting, fishing, gardening, and making the most of the great outdoors.
