Vanessa is part of our Veterinary Assistant team and we are so happy to have her. Vanessa has an uplifting personality. Hopefully you can see her bright, smiling face to greet you soon. She has been with VCA since March 2019 and is a native of New York, New York. In the future, she would like to take advantage of the VCA Penn Foster Veterinary Technician scholarship program and eventually become registered. Vanessa also has a BA in Sociology and a minor in Theatre Arts.  

Vanessa has 3 dogs, Merle (Border Collie), Sprollie (Springer Spaniel Mix), and Kaley (Beagle/Chihuahua mix). In her free time she enjoys listening to music, dancing, movies, reality tv, and going out to eat. 

"I love caring for animals!! I think animal education is so vital to our youth. Only then will they grow up to be responsible, caring, pet owners. Being able to talk with different people every day brings me joy. The smile on a pet owners face after helping their fur babies is priceless."
