Melissa has been around animals all her life, from dogs and cats to birds and more. She knew at a very young age that she wanted to work with animals when she grew up. As a veterinary assistant here at Terra Linda Veterinary Hospital, Melissa is living her lifelong dream and couldn’t be happier!
Melissa graduated in 2022 with her associate’s degree in veterinary technology. Shortly thereafter, she joined the Terra Linda team. Professionally, Melissa has a special interest in dental cleanings and is passionate about providing the best care possible for our patients.
Outside of work, Melissa is dog-mom to three sweet pooches, including Pancho, a senior Chihuahua, and his offspring, Mona and Beastie. In her spare time, Melissa enjoys reading, being outdoors, swimming, and playing with her dogs.
