She was just a baby when she joined our team. Adriana began as a health occupations intern her senior year in high school in 2002. After graduating she became a volunteer, and after seeing her dedication and hard work we offered her a kennel technician position in 2003.

She is very soft spoken and quiet as a mouse but she is one of the hardest workers in this hospital. If you cannot find her it is because she is cleaning something, walking a dog, or playing with the cats.

Like many others in the veterinary profession her reason for being here is one from the heart. Adriana said she was drawn to this field because of an early childhood inclination to love and care for animals. For her, the greatest reward of her job is being able to see patients go home feeling better and happy.
