Noel is a Colorado native, but new to the Fort Collins area. In 2023, he began pursuing his career in veterinary medicine after completing an associate’s in veterinary assistance to accompany his lifetime love for animals. He loves animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, but is particularly fond of large dog breeds. He lives with his sweet senior lab, Izze, and enjoys visiting his family dogs, Darla (Greyhound) and Archer (Dane mix). Outside of work, he enjoys reading nonfiction books, drawing, and playing jazz piano. He is thrilled to be a member of the Raintree team and looks forward to continuing his career as an animal caregiver [citation].
