Her career as a veterinary technician began at Integrative Veterinary Oncology with Dr. Hershey, and from there she found her way into a general practice, which led her to being part of their surgical team. She knew from there that she wanted to be in emergency medicine more than anything, and had that opportunity when she joined Blue Pearl. Now she’s been working in ER for a year, and is very happy to now be part of the TSVC team. During her free time, she enjoys working on her freelance photography, traveling, and spending time with her fur babies – she has: 4 cats and 2 dogs who she loves very much.

Rafael was born in Cuidad Obregón, Sonora but has lived in Arizona his whole life. He has one goofy but loving dog, Bella (dachshund mix) and one lovely calico cat, Luna. Rafael graduated from Pima Medical Institute as a Veterinary Technician this year and now his goals are set to complete his boards to become a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT). He is new working in the veterinary field but his passion so far has been in emergency care. At TSVC he continues to learn and grow his skills as a technician every day. On his days off, he loves to spend time with family and friends, play video games, talk about cars and he loves eating pizza!!
