Oncology Resident
Special interest in mast cell tumor biology and management
Born in Houston, Texas, Dr. Roof lived in The Woodlands until just
before her 8th birthday when she moved to Flower Mound, Texas, or
"the country" as she called it then. Since the neighbors had
buffalo, she knew she had to have a horse. For her 8th birthday, she
received riding lessons and her passion for riding progressed from
there. She soon met veterinarians coming to treat the horses and
this is the only career she has ever wanted to pursue.
All during this time, however, Dr. Roof’s passion was horses and she
started "Eventing" when she was 10 with her first horse. She
continued competing all over the US through her undergrad years.
This passion helped prepare her for her next career. It was hard
work, dedication, disappointments, and successes rolled into one.
Her trainers taught her to think of the horse’s best interest first,
then her wants and desires.
Whenever possible, she was helping the vets with routine care around
the barn and watching various treatments for colics and various
injuries, some of which were on her own horses. When she was old
enough, she started volunteering at their clinics, going on farm
calls, and finally working with a small animal vet, Glynis Roth, DVM,
during her summers in high school and undergrad. During her horse
shows, Erin met and became friends an oncologist who inspired her to
look into this field and the rest is history.
Dr. Roof enjoys giving hope to animals that have been diagnosed with
cancer. Motivated by owner’s dedication to their four-legged family
members has given her the strength to provide support to cancer
patients and make a difference in their lives.
