Vanessa joined the Ingleside Animal Hospital team in 2025, bringing with her a deep passion for animal care. She has earned certifications through the Fear Free Veterinary Certification Program and the Veterinary Assistant Certification Program and has gained valuable experience through both work and volunteer opportunities in the veterinary field.
Having grown up surrounded by a variety of animals, from chickens to snakes, Vanessa’s passion for helping animals developed early. As she grew older, she realized her calling was to make a positive impact in the lives of animals and their owners. She finds great satisfaction in knowing her efforts contribute to the well-being of both the animals she cares for and their families.
Vanessa currently cares for a diverse group of pets, including guppies and a dwarf frog. She is also looking forward to one day adding a python and a German Shepherd to her family.
