In 2002 she received a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree with distinction and, following graduation, stayed on at W.C.V.M. to complete a Small Animal Rotating Internship.

Dr. Hammond worked as an emergency veterinarian in British Columbia for several years, before deciding to specialize in oncology. She moved to Northern California and completed a veterinary Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, & Surgical Oncology Internship at the University of California, Davis. She then began a veterinary Radiation Oncology Residency, and in September 2009, she became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Radiology in the specialty of veterinary Radiation Oncology.
