S5 - E4 - Dr Janice Baker, Veteran, Veterinarian, Thespian

Dr Janice Baker, Veteran, Veterinarian, Thespian 

Dr Janice Lauren Baker has had an amazing career. She started out working with horses with a plan to become an equine veterinarian. She then joined the army and served 22 years in the U.S. Army and Army Reserve, over half of this time in Special Operations assignments.  Special Ops People!!!! She spent the bulk of her military career taking care of working dogs. In addition to having worked over 20 years in emergency practice, she is a board-certified specialist in Veterinary Preventive Medicine with a Master's Degree in Veterinary Forensics. Sarah didn’t know that being board-certified in Veterinary Preventative Medicine was a thing either. She is now a part time ER veterinarian and runs a Veterinary Forensics Consulting business, taking care of law enforcement on animal-related cases. Janice started acting professionally in her mid-fifties as a sort of "retirement hobby." This quickly turned into getting work in film, television, and commercials. Not afraid to be typecast, she has played the body on crime shows several times, along with crazy cat ladies, nosy neighbors, and most recently, The President of the United States of America! Janice is known for her comedic, improvisation, and character actor work. I loved everything about talking to Janice. She is fascinating, inspirational and humble!
