I grew up all over the country, but claim Massachusetts as the homeland. Consequently, I am a HUGE Red Sox fan, and a not so huge Yankees fan! I moved to Las Vegas in 2001 and have enjoyed working at Park Animal Hospital since then. My four-legged children include my Akita Hanna, a cat Chloe, 2 cockatiels Petey & Parker, 2 desert tortoises, and several fish. In October 2005 I added another pet to the menagerie; oh wait! That was a husband!!! I enjoy traveling, going to concerts, and eating spicy food. I love being a part of the Park Animal Hospital family and enjoy helping your pets stay happy and healthy.
