Elo and her family are very big givers and like to volunteer and help out in any way God allows them to. They recently got a new addition to their family, a red nosed Pitbull named Bama. Her children decided to name him Bama because they got him from Alabama. Elo has been at The Scottsdale Veterinary Clinic for almost a year, and has learned so much about different animals that come through the doors. She feels the doctors as well as the techs are so open and willing explain and educate her about veterinary medicine, and she looks forward to many more years at TSVC.

Nicole is originally from the Chicagoland suburbs, but has called many states home. She recently moved to Tempe from Charleston, South Carolina. She joined the United States Air Force in 2009 and recently left to pursue her own interests. Her time in the military allowed her the opportunity to see many different parts of the world, with her favorite being Iceland and Germany. She has three dogs, two cats, and fish. She is currently a part-time senior at Arizona State University a few credits shy of earning her Bachelor’s Degree in Digital Culture. In her free time, she loves to camp, hike, and design custom bandanas for her dogs. She recently made her dog Bob a pink corgi bandana and she loves it! In the future, Nicole would like to rescue or foster more animals with an emphasis on dogs with disabilities.
