Since writing a book report on Libby Riddles, the first woman to win the Iditarod sled dog race, Dr. Charlotte Talbert has dreamed to be a veterinarian for these amazing dogs. North Carolina-raised, Charlotte is a 2020 graduate from Lincoln Memorial College of vet med in Tennessee and is now in a rehabilitation and sports medicine residency in Minnesota.

We talk about her experience working with amazing sled dogs before veterinary school and her research with other athletic dogs such as in the sport skijoring – yep, I had to Google that one. What I found most special about Charlotte is modesty. Like most of us, she has had to fight a lack of self-confidence to fight toward her dreams.
