Ruby grew up in Oceanside, where she spent countless hours at the beach with her family, enjoying the sand, the waves, and the pier. Her first pet was a Pomeranian named Camille, a cherished gift from her grandma, who inspired Ruby's passion for animal care. Ruby's admiration for her grandma's dedication to caring for pets at home, paired with her natural love for animals, led her to pursue a career in the veterinary field. Since 2015, Ruby has worked her way from a kennel assistant to a veterinary assistant, and she finds great joy in seeing patients recover and in the joy of reunions between pets and their owners. She has a tiny Chihuahua named Daisy who believes she can protect Ruby from the world, a love Ruby is eager to return. Ruby's dedication to both patient care and building relationships with clients makes her a valued member of the team. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with friends and family. Ruby admires her late grandma, Maria, whose hardworking, kind-hearted nature continues to inspire her every day. Describing herself as loving, funny, and honest, Ruby is passionate about offering the same unconditional care to pets that she received from her grandma.
