Receptionist

Animals have been a part of my day-to-day life since I was a little girl from helping feed calves on my grandparent’s farm to raising and showing rabbits through 4-H and FFA. I have been working with dogs for about 5 years now and I’m hoping to expand my knowledge on dog training to hopefully become a licensed dog trainer in the future! What I enjoy most about working at Apple Valley Veterinary Clinic, is getting to know our clients and their pets and taking care of them as well! During my free time, I enjoy ATV riding, horseback riding and spending time with my two rescue dogs, my two cats, and my four rabbits!
