Nicole has been at East Valley since July 2021, but has worked in veterinary medicine since 2014. Starting out as a veterinary assistant in rural Missouri, she went back to school and earned an A.S.  in Veterinary Technology in 2018. Shortly thereafter, she became a certified technician. 

When not caring for her furry patients, she loves to get outside whenever she can! She enjoys hiking, snowshoeing, kayaking, and exploring state and national parks with her husband, Isaac. When not outside, she spends downtime listening to podcasts, playing trivia, and watching the latest trending series on Netflix while snuggling with her cat, Gattie.
