Dr. Fourez grew up near Champaign, Illinois, where her passion for animals began on her family farm. Witnessing a cow undergo a C-section as a child inspired her to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. She graduated from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in 2007 and has been a dedicated member of the Yorkville Animal Hospital team for over 15 years.

In her spare time, Dr. Fourez loves traveling the world with her husband, Paul, running marathons, boating, reading, and spending time with her beloved dogs.
