Nala, Veterinary Assistant

Nala has been with VCA North Rockville since November 2020. Though her goal is to eventually work with reptiles or wildlife, she has been having a great time here at VCA North Rockville working with cats and dogs. VCA is providing her with a stepping stone of broad experience to eventually reach the career for which she has been studying. There's a special place in her heart for tabby cats and Rottweilers. She currently owns a tabby cat, Cookie (born in 2020), Todra, her python (pictured, born in 2014), and a family of fish: Dominique, Darlene, Angela, Sunshine, Pickle, Snope, Becky, and Pancake. In her spare time, she paints, grows plants, and plays the synthesizer.

"I've been working with animals from a very young age and have always wanted to make helping them a major part of my life."
