Meet our staff!
Today's highlight is Tya!

Growing up with pets has profoundly influenced my values and career trajectory. From a young age, caring for animals taught me essential lessons in empathy, responsibility, and the unconditional bond between humans and pets. These early experiences ignited my passion for animal welfare and guided me toward a career in veterinary medicine.
In my profession, I strive to embody values of empathy, kindness, and integrity. Whether it's providing compassionate care to every animal, navigating challenging medical cases, or empowering pet owners with knowledge, I am committed to making a positive impact in the lives of animals and their human companions.
My love for animals extends beyond the clinic walls, as I have three dogs, a cat, and a ferret at home. Family is at the heart of everything I do, and I cherish the moments spent with my husband, kids and our pets.
