Thea

Veterinary Assistant

Thea is a certified veterinary assistant who joined our team in September 2025. She is also certified in Fear Free veterinary care, allowing her to provide compassionate, low-stress experiences for every patient she works with. Thea is deeply committed to making each visit as comfortable and positive as possible for both pets and their families.

Originally from Kaibeto, Arizona, Thea brings a strong sense of dedication, kindness, and hard work to everything she does. She is passionate about helping all animals, educating clients on the best care for their pets, and building meaningful relationships with both her patients and their owners.

Outside of the hospital, Thea enjoys riding her horses—Cassie, Penelope, and Shally—attending rodeos, fishing, traveling, camping, and spending quality time with her family. She also shares her home with two beloved dogs: Stella, an adorable corgi, and Jessie, a sweet Shih Tzu mix.

We are incredibly lucky to have such an amazing person on our team and caring for our patients at VCA Apache Junction Animal Hospital!
