Courtney grew up in Temecula, CA, and her first pet was a leopard gecko named Chomper. She named him that because of the way he would eagerly "chomp" at his mealworms when she fed him. Today, Courtney has two cats and two dogs, keeping her life full of love and joy.

In her free time, she enjoys playing video games and, although she doesn't get to do it as often as she'd like, she also loves acrylic painting. Her dream vacation would be to visit either Italy or Japan, as both places hold a special allure with their rich culture and history.

Courtney joined the veterinary field in 2023, driven by her love for animals and her desire to help people by caring for their pets. There is nothing more fulfilling for her than being part of the VCA team, where she gets to make a real difference in the lives of both pets and their owners.
