Aloha Everyone! My name is Leslie and I am born and raised in one of the most wonderful places in the world...Hawaii! I officially started my "forever" career in veterinary medicine after graduating from the University of Hawaii at Manoa with a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science. My true love for the field began about 20 years ago at a small, two-doctor practice on the west-side of Oahu, and continued to evolve through challenges and successes I was able to experience while working at VCA Family and Oahu Veterinary Specialty Center for the next 15 years.

I am currently wearing the "Hospital Manager" hat for VCA University Animal Hospital in beautiful Manoa Valley on the island of Oahu, Hawaii and am also a Registered Veterinary Technician. I was also given an amazing opportunity to work with the Technician Development team, and now, as an Area Technician Coordinator, doing what I absolutely love which is being a part of the training and development of our technical teams in Hawaii. I am most proud of the fact that I get to do what I love, with a team and family I adore, and all for the pets that need us!!

When I am not doing all of those fun things, I am a wife and best of all, a "Mommy" to my plethora of fur-babies and my daughter, Lacey (who seems to be a mini version of me...help!).
