Melissa has been a valued member of our team since 2021. Before joining us, she worked as a Veterinary Assistant and Surgery Tech student, gaining valuable experience in client relations and developing a deep sense of empathy and passion for both animals and learning.

Melissa holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Animal Science and Psychology, with a focus on the abnormal behavior of both animals and children. She has a particular interest in psychology, blood draws, and embracing the "gross" yet fascinating aspects of veterinary care. Melissa is currently furthering her education as she studies to become a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT).

Outside of work, Melissa enjoys crafting, reading, and spending time outdoors—especially with horses, dogs, and her beloved daughter. Her passion for animals and curiosity for continuous learning shine through in everything she does.

What Melissa loves most about working here is our family-oriented environment and the strong sense of community we’ve built within our team. Her dedication, warmth, and enthusiasm make her a valued member of our clinic family. Melissa's personal motto is "Challenge Accepted."
