Meet The Team

Theresa is no stranger to the veterinarian field she has 10+ years experience. She started in kennels and grew a strong passion for animals. It was then she began to pursue being a technician. She loves dentals, taking care of and advocating for pets that can not do so themselves. When she's not here on shift you can find her in the stands at her boys sporting events, volunteering, or curating clothing collections for her boutique. She also enjoys spending time with her husband of 10 years and their fur babe The Gooch!

A little about me, I graduated from Purdue Northwest in 2014 with a degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management.  The pandemic gave me the extra push to make a career change and follow my true passion, caring for animals.  I am in the Veterinary Nursing program at Purdue University and will graduate in August 2023.  I'm a proud dog mama of a Beagle named Murphy, who I rescued as a puppy!  I love country music and attending concerts, traveling, and cheering for the Chicago Bears and Chicago Cubs!  I have a soft spot for rescue/adoption animals and love to see them get a second chance at life.
