Tia grew up in Longmont, Colorado, and had one super special pup named Patch. She joined the veterinary profession to follow a childhood dream to help animals and their owners. She especially loves working with cats in the clinic and is referred to by one of our doctors as the “cat whisperer” as she is very good with handling the clinic’s kitty cat patients. She loves the mountains, and her favorite hobby is photography She has a wonderful husband, Orion, and one fur kid at home named Duke (3-year-old kitty) [citation].
