The VCA team welcomed Nicole in January 2024 when she decided to switch careers, moving from her profession as the world's best bartender to a newbie in vet medicine. That same month marked her return to Purdue University where she is actively pursuing a degree in veterinary nursing. In her free time she enjoys hiking, art, spicy food, and watching movies with her husband. Currently, her home includes two cats, a big grey named Gus and a Siamese named Samus Aran. Last month, they welcomed what is sure to be the first of many rescues, a spunky dog named Marvin.
