Melissa has been working with animals professionally since 2012 and joined the team at AVS is 2018. In addition to our clinic, she has worked as a pet sitter, pet resort manager, animal shelter attendant, and wellness clinic assistant. Melissa has always had a love for animals but found a special interest in veterinary medicine when her own dog, Ryleigh, developed a mysterious medical condition at 6 months old. She learned everything that she could to give Ryleigh the healthiest life possible and in turn finds meaning in being part of the journey for pet parents doing the same. When not here at the clinic, Melissa can be found enjoying the company of her two dogs and cat or exercising her second found passion as a labor and delivery nurse.
