Born and raised in Arizona, I’ve always had a deep love for animals and a strong interest in science. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Biology from Northern Arizona University, and shortly after graduating, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. For the past two years, I’ve been gaining hands-on experience in the field while preparing to apply to veterinary school. One of the most meaningful parts of my journey has been adopting my first cat, Gata—a sweet girl born without eyelids, who came into the hospital from a local shelter. I’m grateful to be part of the compassionate and skilled team at TSVC, and I’m excited to continue growing in this field.
