Lexi’s own passion for rescuing pets is what pushed her toward a career in veterinary medicine. She’s always recognized the high level of patience, professionalism, passion, and strength needed to perform in this field every day, and she wanted to be a part of that. That’s why Lexi chose to become a veterinary professional herself—she’s a proud member of Chico Creek Animal Hospital’s Veterinary Assistant team.
Lexi was born in Southern California but spent most of her life growing up in Paradise. She attended California State University-Chico, graduating in 2016 with her degree in exercise physiology, and then decided to dive headfirst into the world of animal medicine. She started working at a well-established dog boarding and daycare facility in the area, which only cemented her desire to help as many pets as possible in a hands-on way. In August of 2020, Lexi joined the team here at Chico Creek Animal Hospital as a Veterinary Assistant and hasn’t looked back since.
Around the hospital, Lexi enjoys communicating one-on-one with pet owners and getting to meet their adorable companions every day. She’s also passionate about animal behavior, something she’s been interested in ever since her days at the dog boarding center, and she likes learning about different treatment modalities whenever she can.
Away from work, Lexi enjoys spending time outdoors and is an avid hiker. She’s also fond of weightlifting and even participated in several Crossfit competitions in the past. At home, she has two rescued pets of her own: Toby, a black Maltipoo who squeals in delight whenever Lexi gets home, and an 80-pound Rhodesian Ridgeback mix named Max who prefers the simple things in life like good food, fun walks outside, and a soft place to sleep.
