Elena was born and raised in Savannah, Georgia, and has always loved working with and around animals since she was very young. She graduated from Islands High School earning her vet assistant certification. The Veterinary Science program allowed her opportunities where she found herself wanting to be a part of the veterinary profession. She plans on continuing her education to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician. Her pets consist of two domestic shorthair tabby cats named Mia and Ladybug, one who was a stray and the other who was a foster failure. She understands what it's like being a pet owner and providing the best quality care for them to have a long and healthy lifestyle, and that's what she wants to offer to each and every pet parent that walks into VCA.
