Nicole has worked at VCA Northside since 1999. She graduated from Penn State University in 1996 with a B.S. in Animal BioScience. She lives in Upper Macungie Township with her husband, Bill, and daughters, Lillian and Victoria. Nicole also has a rottie named Magnus, a chinchilla named Gobo, and kitties named Charlotte and Gump.

Why I do what I do: "I have always loved animals and as a child, I could not have animals due to family allergies. I found a way to be with and help animals (and their families) through being a vet assistant, and I wouldn't have it any other way."
