Nikki, Licensed Veterinary Technician
Born and raised in western South Dakota, Nikki has been devoted to caring for animals since her early years. She graduated in 2012 from the Bel-Rea Institute of Animal Technology in Denver, CO, and began her career working at a doggie boarding, grooming, and daycare facility while still in high school. Her passion for helping animals deepened during college, where she worked at a canine rehabilitation group and saw firsthand the transformative impact of rehabilitation on injured and recovering pets.
In 2018, Nikki and her husband relocated to Nevada with their beloved dogs and a duck. Since then, their family has grown to include several animals in need, including additional dogs, guinea pigs, and parrots. Nikki thrives on working with a wide variety of species, including exotics, and loves exploring different areas of veterinary medicine.
When she’s not at the clinic, Nikki enjoys being outdoors, whale watching, and traveling in the van she and her husband converted to bring their animals along for every adventure. She dreams of one day working with marine mammals, combining her love for animals with her passion for ocean life.
Nikki’s dedication to her patients and their families, combined with her diverse experience and enthusiasm for learning, makes her an invaluable part of our team.
