McCurry, a licensed veterinary technician, is an alumna of LMU, where she earned both her degree in veterinary technology and a Bachelor of Business Administration. After graduating, McCurry began her career at Lee County Animal Hospital, a mixed-animal practice, where she gained experience with both small and large animals.
