Alex grew up on the east coast and is currently a student of Medical and Biological Anthropology at Boston University. She took a gap year to be with family in Sedona and take some time for herself, where she found she had a passion for working with animals. After starting in the kennel and moving to the medical team at the VVH, she feels she has found her true passion and hopes to finish her degree and pursue a career in Veterinary Medicine as a DVM. She is currently enrolled in a veterinary technician program. Alex loves fitness, cooking, and her rescue sheltie Kermit [citation][3].
