My name is Kristine Woerheide, and I grew up in Lutsen, Minnesota. I currently live in Ely and am a veterinarian. I have always had a passion for the outdoors and animals. Mushing is the next most obvious step, right? I forgot to mention my concurrent passion for challenges and hard work that pays off.

I enjoy learning from the animals I am surrounded by every day. I’m lucky to have amazing mentors and dogs to work with. I’m looking forward to the adventures that winter is sure to bring.
