Education

Work History & Professional Background
Following veterinary school, Dr. Tulloss joined the United States Army as a Veterinary Corps Officer after completing an internship program with the Army in Virginia. During active-duty service, she deployed to Bahrain, where she oversaw veterinary medical care programs for privately owned animals and military working dogs while managing veterinary hospital operations along with public health and food safety.
Her military career continued overseas in Vicenza, Italy, where she managed two veterinary hospitals for three years and began studying Italian. She later oversaw three veterinary hospitals in Kansas before transitioning to the Army Reserves in 2018.
Under Dr. Tulloss's leadership, the veterinary hospital in Kansas achieved accreditation through the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), becoming one of only a small number of Army veterinary practices to achieve this distinction. AAHA accreditation reflects rigorous standards in patient care, safety, hospital management, and medical quality.
After entering the reserves, Dr. Tulloss founded her own relief veterinary practice, providing small animal general practice, emergency, and surgical services for approximately three years.
Dr. Tulloss currently serves as a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army Reserve, where her primary interests include mentoring early-career military veterinarians and teaching veterinary dermatology topics. She has delivered presentations and lectures at military conferences throughout South Korea, Germany, and the United States.
Memberships
In 2021, she became board certified in Veterinary Preventive Medicine, earning Diplomate status with the American College of Veterinary Preventive Medicine.
