Aria was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, and has had a passion for animals from an early age. At four years old, after finding and nursing an injured frog back to health, she discovered her calling to care for animals who cannot advocate for themselves. Now entering her fourth year in veterinary medicine, Aria joined our team this summer with experience in emergency medicine, internal medicine, and surgery, eager to expand her knowledge of general practice. She earned her bachelor's degree in natural science in 2026 and is continuing her education at UAA this fall.
Outside of work and school, Aria enjoys hiking, fishing, and spending time outdoors with her partner and their border collie/Karelian Bear dog mix. She is excited to continue learning, providing compassionate patient care, and building lasting relationships with her new furry friends.
