Dr. Stumph graduated from Manteo High School before attending Averett University where she double majored in biology and equine studies, graduating with honors. She then attended North Carolina State College of Veterinary Medicine, where she again graduated with honors. Her dream was to one day own her own veterinary practice and now First Flight Vet is a reality. She spends her spare time looking after her own batch of critters including two horses, Mario and Raphael, one cat, Bear, and her two dogs, Mayzzy and Re-Pete. She loves spending time with her husband David, collecting sea glass, rooting for her Pittsburgh Steelers and riding her tractor.

Kristine Rook, DVMKristine Rook grew up in Ohio and is a proud graduate of the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. (The shouting you hear on football Saturdays is her cheering on her Buckeyes.) She earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1992. After rethinking her childhood dream of being an Olympic swimmer (you have to get face wet?), she settled on veterinary medicine as a career in second grade, and she has never regretted that decision. She is passionate about making pets feel better by making their mouths healthy and pain-free through proper dental care. She is also fascinated by how dogs and cats learn and interact with people. In her free time, Dr. Rook loves spending time with her husband, Julius, and their 2 dogs: Freddie (Mercury) and Lena the wonder poodle. She is currently involved in the dog sports of agility, rally and obedience. She also has two wonderful human children. She also knits, reads and watches birds any chance she gets. She loves musicals and any movie with Cary Grant. So far she has a perfect record of keeping one New Year’s Resolution: not to run a marathon, or in fact run anywhere.
