Combining Veterinary Passion and Entrepreneurship with Dr. Christine Beck

Dr. Christine Beck has been in the animal industry for over 20 years, and is a successful business owner in multiple industries.

She is a passionate visionary who just recently launched Waggle Mail, a filler-free subscription box for dogs and their humans that contains vet-curated information and products to support dog’s health and wellbeing, no matter their stage in life. Her vision is to build a community of empowered dog owners taking the best care of their dogs.

Christine is passionate about advocating for the health and wellness of animals, and has creatively blended that with her skills and experience in finance and business.

• Christine’s career trajectory from vet school to business ownership and entrepreneurship

• Handling a veterinary career while growing a non-vet related business

• Getting aligned on your professional direction
