Tanya started with the practice by volunteering over summers in high school in 2006. She worked her way up from Housecall Helper to Veterinary Assistant to Supervisor and now Office Manager. She lives in Elmira with her husband and new baby, born March 2022, along with 4 cats and 2 dogs. She does pet sitting and in-home cat/dog nail trims outside of work in addition to catching and vetting strays around her house. What she loves most about her job is bonding with the patients and educating clients [citation].
