Hi! I’m Yaki! 🐾 I’ve loved animals my entire life and have been professionally working with them for the past 8 years. I graduated from Pima Medical Institute as a Veterinary Assistant and currently work at a 24/7 emergency veterinary hospital in Mesa.
My experience includes general practice, emergency medicine, high-volume spay/neuter, and caring for dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I also volunteer with the Arizona Humane Society’s neonate program and help provide accessible veterinary care to Native communities around the Valley.
At home, I have three pit bulls—Venus, Leia, and Slick—who are the loves of my life, along with my axolotls! ❤️
I’m fluent in English and Spanish and will always treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐶🐱💕
