Heather has always had a love for furry, feathery friends and an occasional reptile too. Her experience in animal care includes 2 years as a volunteer at the Dorothy O'Conner Animal Shelter in Texas before moving to the High Desert. She has a full household including 2 children, 2 exotic birds, Miss Kay and Clutch, 2 spoiled Himalayans, Phoebe and Tinker, and 2 dogs, Cherry and Pepsi. Her goal is to continue her education, while getting the necessary experience and training to become an RVT. Heather started off with us as an intern while working towards her Registered Veterinary Technician certification, but she has been in the field for several years. Now as a member of our staff, she works with our clients up front as well as assisting with patients in rooms, treatment, and surgery. She and her husband have 3 children, and an ever-growing group of loving pets. She has a special place in her heart for chickens [citation].
