I was born and raised in San Jose. I've loved animals my whole life so I decided to apply at Evergreen in 2007, which happened to be right next to my school, Silver Creek High School. I graduated later that year.

I loved my job, so I pursued an Associate of Science degree in veterinary technology at Carrington College and graduated in 2012. My job involves assisting the doctors and technicians and providing care for the patients. I love knowing that I am making a difference in someone's life by caring for their beloved four-legged friend.

I am married with one son and I also have three dogs. Molly is a 9-year-old Pembroke Welsh Corgi and is my "diva princess." Riley is an 8-year-old Cardigan Welsh Corgi and is a big-time troublemaker. Pumba is a 5-year-old English Coonhound Mix and is my big baby. He was found in a box outside the clinic with his nine siblings and was about 1 week old. I bottle raised him and have had him since. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and watching my son grow.
