Dr. MaryAnn Johansen completed her veterinary education at Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine in 1990. Following a period of working in a mixed animal practice, she took a bold step towards independence and established Converse Animal Hospital in 1997. Her particular focus lies in soft tissue surgery and preventive healthcare. Currently, Dr. Johansen, along with her husband and their dog Astro, live in an apartment situated above their barn, which serves as the residence for their four horses and a pony. During her leisure hours, she takes pleasure in activities such as horseback riding, hiking, and tending to her koi pond.

Even during her high school and undergraduate years, Dr. Chude demonstrated her passion for animal sciences by authoring and co-authoring several books. Growing up in a military household, she has found joy in raising her family in San Antonio. Beyond her professional commitments, she indulges in a range of interests, including horseback riding, fencing, camping, reading, and various crafts.
