Office Manager

Jessica

Jessica, originally from Michigan, grew up with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, mice, rabbits, birds, and reptiles, sparking a love for animals at a young age.

As she embarked on her college journey, Jessica found herself uncertain about her career path. However, her life took a significant turn when her dog fell seriously ill and passed away. This heart-wrenching experience encouraged her to explore the world of veterinary care. After considering veterinary school, and deciding not to pursue it, she began working for a breeder of daisy dogs which then led to her working at a veterinary clinic as a kennel worker, where her career path became clear. She made the decision to attend Baker College of Muskegon to pursue a degree in veterinary technology, where she graduated in 2004 and eventually became a Licensed Veterinary Technician.

During her time in the field, Jessica’s career evolved, and she served as a supervisor in the boarding and grooming department of an animal hospital. This experience not only strengthened her clinical skills but also revealed her natural leadership abilities.

Jessica has called Las Vegas home for the past three years. She has enjoyed the stunning landscapes of Lone Mountain and Mt. Charleston through her love for hiking with her dog, Zeke, a boxer-Pitbull mix . She also enjoys playing softball with friends.

Licensed Veterinary Technician

Maddie

Maddie was born in California and raised in Florida. Her journey in the veterinary field began with inspiration from Steve Irwin, though her first job was as a lifeguard in Florida – where she experienced the fulfillment of saving lives but missed working with animals.

After high school, instead of pursuing college, she joined the military in 2017 at age 18. She spent 4 years at Camp Lejeune doing warehouse inventory, knowing it was temporary while she figured out her true path. Due to limited veterinary opportunities in North Carolina, she relocated to Arizona, where she worked as a kennel attendant for a year before moving to Las Vegas.

Following a friend’s suggestion, she enrolled at PIMA to become a Veterinary Assistant (VA). During her VA training, she completed an internship at Ann Road Animal Hospital. A pivotal moment came during her VA classes when Dr. Moore from Lone Mountain Animal Hospital discussed her work with exotic animals, which inspired Maddie’s interest in exotic veterinary medicine.

She began working at Lone Mountain Animal Hospital a year and a half ago. Now a licensed veterinary technician, Maddie is driven by her passion for advocating for animals who cannot speak for themselves.

In her free time, she enjoys cooking, working out, and singing.

Stephanie

Stephanie, a Las Vegas native, discovered her passion for animals after getting her first dog in high school – a turning point that helped her overcome her previous fear of dogs, particularly their barking. Her journey in animal care began at PetSmart’s pet care department, where she was responsible for maintaining animal habitats.

Her career path then led her to work as a receptionist at an animal hospital, which inspired her to further her education. She went back to school to become a Veterinary Assistant, and later pursued her education to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician. As an LVT, Stephanie finds fulfillment in providing critical care and helping save animals’ lives.

When she’s not caring for pets, Stephanie enjoys spending quality time at home with her family and friends.
