Allison, Vet Assistant
I have been working in Veterinary Medicine since I was 16 and earned my bachelors in Zoology and Chemistry. I started in the world of animal rescue and rehabilitated over 200 stray kittens where I grew up, then ended up adopting a cat of my own. I moved to Colorado in 2022, but I was born and raised in New York. I also have a passion for conservation and environmental sciences, and outside of practicing medicine I like to hike and camp with my cat, Poptart.
