Hello! My name is Alyssa and I have been a veterinary technician since 2020. I went to school at Pima Medical Institute and obtained my associates in veterinary technology. Shortly after graduation I passed my national boards to become a nationally certified veterinary technician. Since graduating, I have been an emergency technician in a local ER hospital and have gotten to help pets in all hours of the day! I have also working alongside our general practice and specialties in my hospital. While I enjoy the nature of emergency medicine, I love to help any of pets that I interact with. I am a Fear Free Certified Professional as well as a Cat Friendly Professional. Can’t wait to meet you and your pets!
