Tell Us About Your Pet Family:

I have a dog named Tuckernuck aka Tucker. He is a 1 ½ year old Black Lab. He will retrieve anything in sight and of course play with other dogs at the dog park. Just like every Lab, he loves swimming and playing in the sprinkler.

My Favorite Story About A Pet:

I have always loved watching Tucker play in the water. My favorite memory takes place last summer when the Meadows Pool closed, and they let all the dogs go swimming. I have never seen him so happy!

When I’m Not at Cherished Companions, You’ll Find Me…

You will find me at the pool going down the water slide, hanging out with my husband and Tucker, and enjoying time in the mountains.

My Education:

University of Denver, Bachelor of Arts, Psychology

Minors in Sociology and Anthropology

Career Choice:

It was a combination of two of my passions: people and animals. I truly enjoy my interaction with each of our clients and providing the best possible care to their beloved pets. I also enjoy my time with the staff and doctors here at Cherished Companions.

My Role at Cherished Companions:

I started as the receptionist here and have transitioned to a Vet Tech. I assist the doctor’s with patients, acquiring their histories and assisting with appointments and follow up care.

Greatest Thing About Working with Animals:

They all have such kind souls an I enjoy meeting each and every one of them and helping them through their time with us and making them feel better.

Favorite Compliment from a Customer:

After a puppy’s first visit to the vet, the owner thanked me for making their pet’s first experience to the vet such an enjoyable one. That made me very happy to hear that!

Special Expertise:

Being observant of an animal’s body language before interacting with them, because each animal is on a different comfort level when coming to the vet.
