Feeling the weight of public opinion? Dr. Marissa admits to imposter syndrome yet stands tall. Personal branding means sticking to your values, despite ‘the noise’.

Dr. Marissa Hake is a proud Michigan native, deeply rooted in her educational experiences at Michigan State University, where her journey in veterinary medicine and public health blossomed. Her spirit is evident as she spills her enthusiasm for her alma mater, where she completed her undergraduate, graduate, and veterinary degrees.
After wrapping up her studies in 2015, she traded in the familiar landscapes of Michigan for new horizons in Northwest Ohio, embracing the rich heritage of her husband’s family as multi-generational farmers.
Marissa’s veterinary career began with a focus on the foundational stage of animal husbandry, specializing in calf care during her first five years in practice. Her dedication and expertise in this area have contributed to the wellbeing and growth of countless calves, weaving her own legacy into the fabric of agricultural life.
Marissa is passionate about communicating with consumers about modern agriculture through her personal social media accounts:
