As a kid, Liora swayed between two potential job paths—becoming a lawyer or working with animals. After she took a Veterinary Assistant occupational placement class in high school, her mind was made up. Veterinary medicine was the career choice for her!

Liora grew up in Irvine, California with her parents and four cats. Her animal care journey began at San Diego Mesa College, where she studied Veterinary Technology and served in two animal hospitals at the same time. After graduating with her Associate’s degree, she returned to Orange County and joined the VCA Airport Irvine Animal Hospital family in the fall of 2010. Liora continued on to receive her licensure and became a Registered Veterinary Technician in February 2014!

Liora especially enjoys radiology and assisting doctors with ultrasound. Above all, she likes seeing an animal go home healthy and happy alongside their loving owners.

At home, Liora and her family have five cats, ranging from kitten-aged to an elderly 17-year-old. When she isn’t caring for animals around the clinic or spending time with her family and pets, Liora enjoys reading, watching movies, visiting amusement parks, and going to baseball games.
