Before going to veterinary school she worked as an animal assistant in a general practice clinc and spent a summer as an intern at the Indianapolis Zoo. During this internship she instituted a station training program for the zoo's Crested Coua. Her interest in veterinary neurology began during her second year of veterinary school.

I love the complexities of the nervous system and how each part of your examination works together to guide you to a location and probable diagnosis."

Dr. Humke's professional interests include idiopathic epilepsy, inflammatory diseases, and surgical neurology.
