I have worked at wrah for almost 14 years. I have been the surgery team leader for about 8 years. I have always loved animals and always knew I wanted to work in a clinic. I have 2 amazing kids that keep me busy after work and on the weekends. We love to be outdoors as much as we can. Fishing, camping and traveling. We love football.

I am a Colorado native. I have been working with animals my entire life, from doggy daycare, boarding, grooming, vet assistant, and now Vet Technician.
I have been working at West Ridge Animal Hospital for over 6 years. I specialize in Canine Rehab, and love educating clients on pain management, and prevention. I am a single mother to a beautiful daughter, and a rambunctious 5 month old pup. I enjoy spending my free time outdoors, spending time with friends, or creating memories with my daughter.

While I have only worked at WRAH for 1yr, I have always had animals (large and small) as part of my life. Often taking in the sick or injured and many times, nursing them back to health. When I'm not at WRAH, I enjoy spending time with my family.

I've been an outpatient nurse at WRAH since February 2021. My favorite thing about this job is that I learn something new almost every day, and of course the puppy snuggles never hurt! When I'm not at work, I love taking in the Colorado scenery, making glass art with my mom, or relaxing with my three kitties Maisy, Lego, and Rosie.

I’m an Approved Veterinary Assistant
I graduated from Front Range Community College in May 2021. I have 2 amazing pets that I love being around and seeing them grow. I have a Chihuahua and a Siamese. I love to hang out with family and my boyfriend on my days off and listen to music and drive around. I’ve always wanted a career in this field since I was a young child and it becoming a dream made it so special that I can help animals and their owners. I love learning new things every day to improve my skills.

I also love the outdoors

I have been part of the West Ridge family since January of 2014, I graduated from Front Range Community College and became a certified veterinary technician in the spring of 2012. I love working in all parts of the clinic, whether that means in the back monitoring anesthesia for surgeries, triaging patients, or educating clients in appointments.
I do have a soft spot for exotics (mostly reptiles) and specifically pitty breeds as I also have one of my own.
When not at work I stay plenty busy with my 4 wonderful children and husband.

I have been a veterinary technician at West Ridge for 8 1/2 years. Prior to my veterinary experience, I graduated with my bachelors degree in biological sciences with emphasis of pre-med from Univery of Northern Colorado.  At West Ridge, I enjoy educating about routine wellness and taking on urgent cares for all species. I love educating others on rabbits and teaching basic rabbit care as well. As a leader, I help train new technicians and teach them not only new veterinay skills, but our core values and how to "Let Our Family Care For Yours!"

Alyssa has been a valued member of West Ridge since January 2019! With a pre-veterinary medicine degree and recent certification from Front Range, Alyssa brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to her work in urgent care, surgery, and scheduled appointments.  Originally from Maryland, where she lived for 19 years before moving to Colorado in 2017, Alyssa is an avid outdoor enthusiast. Her furry family includes Obi, a corgi mix, and Hershey, a long-haired dachshund.

I grew up all over the place in a military family and was able to take care of many diverse animals. I worked on a ranch that had tigers, bob cats, and many exotics. Then I fostered for dog rescues while attending CSU for a wildlife biology degree. After fostering for so long I realized my true path was to care for animals, so I attended an online college to get my associates degree to become a veterinary technician. I currently have a rescue dog named Dax and a rescue cat named Junipur, who are both patients here at WRAH.

I have been with West Ridge since August of 2021. Before that, I was back in New England where I grew up and attended Becker College to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. I have a Golden Retriever back home in New Hampshire named Freddie. I love Colorado so far and I am very excited to explore the mountains!
