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.

Veterinarian Technician

Breanna N. Silk

She/Her

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.
