Alexandra, Office Manager
Alexandra (or Allie) has been in the field for the last six years, having worked in various roles, from kennel attendant to receptionist and even assisting in surgeries. Her extensive experience has equipped her with a deep understanding of all aspects of veterinary care. From a young age, Allie knew she wanted to help care for animals. Growing up in a loving home always full of pets, it felt like a natural calling. Currently, she shares her home with three beloved dogs: Clover, a 7-year-old lab mix; Indy, a 5-year-old pug; and Tater Tot, a 4-year-old Shih Tzu. Allie has raised all three since they were about nine weeks old, and they are cherished members of her family. The dogs enjoy running around and playing fetch with her two-year-old son. In her free time, Allie loves spending quality time with her son, whether it’s going swimming, playing at the park, or enjoying the great outdoors. She is also an avid reader, devouring dozens of books each year. Allie’s passion for animals and organized nature make her an incredible Office Manager.
