As a veterinary assistant, he is focused on helping every pet feel safe, supported, and cared for, while ensuring clients feel confident in the experience their pet is receiving.

His approach is grounded in empathy and intention. Christopher takes the time to understand what each pet and family may be experiencing, treating every patient with the same level of care he would want for his own. This mindset helps create a more reassuring and positive environment for both pets and their families.


“The care I give to each patient is the same level of care I would want for my own dogs. I try to put myself in every pet parent’s shoes and give their pet the love and care they deserve.”

After spending much of his career in retail, he made the decision to pursue a long-standing passion for animal care.

He is Fear Free Certified and currently completing his training through the Ocean County College AVA program. Christopher also has a strong interest in exotic animal care, bringing curiosity and enthusiasm to supporting a wide range of patients seen at the hospital.

“Seeing pets leave happy and healthy, and the relief on their owners’ faces, is what drives me every day.”
