I have always had a fascination with the animal medical field and knew that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. This passion encouraged me to pursue a degree in the animal medical field, and in 2001, I graduated from the Bel Rea Institute of Animal Technology in Colorado with an Associate of Science in veterinary technology. I started my career at a specialty clinic in 2002 as an ICU nurse and managed the inventory control. In 2012, I accepted a position as a hospital manager at a general practice hospital. I started working at VCA Oso Creek in 2017 and managed the inventory control for the entire hospital. In 2023, I accepted the position of hospital operations director, and I look forward to many more years providing excellent care to the patients of Corpus Christi.
