My name is Michelle. I am a native Texan and was born and raised in Mesquite, Texas. I've always had a passion for working with animals; I was able to get an opportunity in high school to experiment with a career choice in fulfilling that passion. I spent 2 years in a 1 veterinary practice developing the skills necessary to become a veterinary technician. In 2006 I joined the V CA family. I started out as a receptionist and was soon able to cross train as a groomer. I transferred to VCA Sandy Lake in 2011. Currently, I remain as a groomer here but am also working towards being a Veterinary Technician. I am a proud mother of a 6yr old daughter named Ava. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat who are also my children. In my spare time I enjoy spending family time.
