Ali earned her degree in Veterinary Technology from Statzenberger in 2012. She joined VCA Lakewood in 2015 as a Registered Veterinary Technician after working in emergency medicine for five years. She also serves as an Area Technician and Assistant Supervisor for five neighboring hospitals where she helps educate and mentor veterinary support staff.

Ali is a self-proclaimed dog nerd, having memorized multiple dog breed encyclopedias as a child. She has a fondness for brachycephalic breeds in particular. She has two American Staffordshire Terriers, Nova and Roman, and 3 cats, Bubba, Tina, and Molly.

Ali, like all vet techs, loves a good pen. She'll happily loan you one but you better give it back! She enjoys attending concerts and spending time with friends and family, but is most relaxed when binging true crime podcasts and documentaries while online browsing the latest Croc colors to add to her collection.
