Lauri joined the team in 2004 and has been our team captain for the last several years.

Lauri received her A.A. degree from Los Angeles Harbor College where she was on the Dean's List and maintained a membership in Alpha Gamma Sigma Honor Society. From there she went on to California State University, Long Beach and majored in Microbiology.

She achieved her A.S. degree from Los Angeles Pierce College where she completed the R.V.T. program.

Lauri is an invaluable asset to our team in all areas. She greatly enjoys interacting with the clients; uses calm assertive techniques with the patients and maintains the organization of the practice. For our surgical team, Lauri uses her extensive training and ongoing education to excel as our anesthetist.

Lauri managed all this as a single mother of two lovely daughters. Also adding to her family every rescue, she could not resist. Current count four: Rosie and Dot, both pit mixes, Chia a PomChi and Nicki a Chihuahuan work-in-progress.
