Certified Veterinary Technician – Surgery

Rachel grew up in Connecticut, and it wasn’t until she moved to Boston for a few years that she realized the West Coast was calling her name. She has loved animals all her life and knew that she would be working in animal care from a young age. Rachel lives at home with cats Penelope and Nigel. Penelope is a special needs kitten who came to her last hospital as a failure to thrive kitten – however, she has proven all of her doctors wrong, and has blossomed into a healthy cat! Nigel is obsessed with avocados and will stop at nothing to get them. When she isn’t working with animals at OVRA or snuggling her kitties, Rachel loves to challenge herself by running half marathons in national parks.
