Growing up, Alicia always knew she wanted to work with animals. She was always bringing home sick animals to nurse back to health. Luckily she had very patient parents. She started working at Central Animal Hospital when she was 18 and then got the chance to work with Dr. Osorio. She jumped at the chance to work with her mentor and has been at VANB ever since. Alicia excels at drawing blood, running the lab, and making her co-workers laugh. In her free time, she likes to walk her dogs, travel, and drink wine [citation].
