I joined VCA in 2017 and the VCA Northwest Hills team in August 2021. I am originally from Los Angeles, but moved to Dallas when I was 14. I've loved animals ever since I was a kid so I have known for a long time that I wanted to work in the field. I went to University of North Texas to study ecology and interned at the Dallas Zoo. I have four pets, three dogs and one cat. My dogs, Benny, Opie, and Polkadot, are all pitty mixes. Marla, my cat, is a grey long-haired tabby. In my spare time, I love traveling, watching shows, listening to comedy podcasts, and cuddling with my fur babies.
