Hannah is a 29-year-old dog lover with over a decade of experience living and working with dogs. She currently shares her life with her Alaskan Husky, Kya, and has developed a deep, caring passion for pets over the years. When she's not with her furry companion, Hannah enjoys spending time at the beach, hiking, throwing a football, soaking up the sun, and exploring the outdoors with her two kids. Looking ahead, she’s excited about the prospect of one day running her own pet service company, combining her love of animals with her entrepreneurial dreams.

I have been working in the veterinary field since 2021 and have found my true passion in caring for animals. While I love all creatures, I have a special fondness for cats and goats. My background includes two years of volunteer service as a wildland firefighter and studying to become an EMT, experiences that helped me realize my heart lies in animal care. These paths have shaped my resilience, work ethic, and compassion—qualities I now bring to my work in veterinary medicine. Looking ahead, I am excited to continue my journey by becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT).

In 2019, I moved to El Dorado Hills from Texas and soon after met my husband. We now have a two-year-old daughter and a beloved 13-year-old cockapoo mix named Eleanor. I joined CAH after earning my Veterinary Assistant certificate and am currently continuing my education with the goal of becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). I have a deep passion for reptiles and hope to specialize in exotic animal care in the future.
