Pet Resort Manager

​I have been with VCA Durant Road since September 2019. I've been around animals my whole life and have owned/grew up with anything from dogs, cats, chickens, a snake, a turtle, hermit crabs, a mouse, various fish, and rabbits, and I would love to own other species in the future. Animals are my passion and I decided to go to school to learn even more about them. I obtained my B.S. in Animal Science from my dream school NC State University. I worked with many animals during my time there, especially dairy cows. Currently figuring out how I can use my education and passion to find the right career path, but in the meantime I'm enjoying surrounding myself with dogs and cats on a daily basis whether at work, through petsitting, or my own pets along with friends' and family's. 
My current pets include Rezzy, a domestic shorthair found as a stray kitten and Muscadine, a California kingsnake. 
​A fun fact about me is that I was born in Guatemala City and was adopted which lead me to grow up in a small eastern NC town with a population of 200! ​

​I’ve been with VCA Durant since August 2021. 
I’ve always loved animals and was blessed to be in a family who loved animals as well, so I’ve been around animals since I was born. I’ve had 16 cats in my life, 4 dogs, 30 mice ( got 2 “females”… 1 was in fact a male), a guinea pig, and a bird :). VCA is my first job that works in the animal/vet industry, but I’ve always done pet sittings for friends and family members for as long as I can remember. 
I currently have 3 cats (Leela a Maine coon mix; Nola an Egyptian Mau mix, and Matrix a tuxedo cat), and Amethyst a Dalmatian who is deaf! 
Fun fact about me is I am 1 of 9! So not only did I have a lot of pets growing up, but I also had a LOT of siblings. Growing up in a big family is a different dynamic, but it’s helped shape me into who I am today.

I've been working for VCA since summer of 2021 and I adore it. It was an incredible opportunity presented to me that I am so grateful for. I love animals and always have, I rescued a few critters here and there but this is my first time actually getting to work with animals that I love, every single day. I've had tons of animals in the past: fish, birds, lizards, Guinea pigs, dogs cats, etc. I now have 2 adorable rescue Holland Lop bunnies (Nick and Asher) and an energetic little Dalmation (Domino).

I joined the team in March of 2022. I have always been around animals, my parents had all kinds of pets when I was growing up (dogs, goats, parrots, lizards, rabbits, and more). I spent about five years volunteering at the Greensboro Science Center in the zoo and another year volunteering for a wildlife rehabilitation center, both of which made me grow very fond of exotics/wildlife. I've been working in kennels for a few months now, and have loved every second of it. Dogs have stolen my whole heart!
My only current pet is my four-year-old bearded dragon, Puff. He's a total grump but I love him.
One fun fact about me: I am studying to become a high school biology teacher!
