Marci started her veterinary career with PIMA Medical Institute in the Veterinary Assistant Program. During her internship here, we fell in love with her empathetic spirit and sharp wit. After completing her internship, she officially joined the VCA Rancho San Diego crew as an assistant in the summer of 2009. Before beginning her veterinary career, Marci worked as a waitress for over 7 years. Working in the service industry for so long, Marci developed great customer service skills that we believe just adds to what makes her a great technician; striving to give every one of her patients a good experience while they are here in the hospital. In 2012, she went through the Veterinary Allied Staff Education Program to join the ranks of Registered Veterinary Technician. Marci's “free” time is limited, as she and her husband, Tony, just became homeowners and she devotes one day a week to babysitting her niece, Cora. When Marci DOES have a break, she enjoys cooking (especially baking) and spending time with her black and white long-haired kitty, Oscar.
