    I have been a Licensed Veterinary Technician since 2002. I was born and raised in Vermont, and moved to Las Vegas in 1998. I joined the Spay and Neuter Center team in 2009.

I worked with the owner, Taryn Griffith at another clinic prior to this place and took the opportunity to work for her here right away.

Knowing we are educating the public about the importance of spaying, neutering, and vaccinating their pet, is very rewarding
