A Colorado native, I was born and raised in Greeley, CO. For as long as I can remember, I have had a love for animals and knew at a very young age that I wanted to be a Veterinarian. It wasn't until high school that I realized that being a Veterinary Technician was better suited for me. I graduated in May 2002 from Colorado Mountain College in Glenwood Springs, CO, with an Associates in Applied Science Degree in Veterinary Technology. I passed the Veterinary Technician National Exam in June 2002, earning my Certification in Veterinary Technology. I loved the small mountain town lifestyle so much, that I moved to Glenwood Springs a couple years later. After several years, I made the move back to Greeley to be closer to family again. In 2017, I met my husband, Ryan, who brought me to Aurora, where we call home with our 2-year-old daughter, Leighla. Over the years, I have rescued and loved many dogs and cats but currently only have one fur-baby, a Miniature Schnauzer named Delilah. When not helping other people's pets at work or trying to keep up with my very active toddler, I enjoy relaxing with a good movie and spending quality time with my family.
