I have always loved animals and knew since I was a little girl that I wanted to work in this field. I graduated high school with my associate degree and straight from graduating I enrolled in the veterinary technician program in eastern Florida. I have been a vet tech since early 2022 though recently had my beautiful baby boy so I had to put a pause in my career for him. I missed working and came back as soon as could, I am proud to be apart of this wonderful team.

Hey! I'm Alison - some of you may already know me. I've been working at Eau Gallie since 2018 but I did leave briefly to pursue another career. After a short time I came back because veterinary medicine, being a veterinary technician and working at Eau Gallie, which is like family, is where I'm meant to be! I've been in the veterinary field for over 10 years. I've done it all from reception to technician duties. I love working with animals and wish I was there to be more hands on with your fur babies. I recently had a baby boy in June 2023, Paul Joseph. After having PJ, my husband and I decided to move to Georgia. I am now working remotely from GA as the Remote Care Coordinator. Although I may not be there in person to help take care of your fur babies, I am here for anything you might need remotely. When I'm not taking care of your fur babies, I am spending time with my husband, son and our mini zoo! We have 4 dogs (Cruz, Skye, Lady Belle and Rocket), 2 cats a long hair orange cat and a sphynx (Simba and Ronan). We also have lots of fish tanks, a bearded dragon, a bunny, guinea pig, a sulcata tortoise and 2 chubby frogs. Giving all your babies kisses from a far, if you need anything at all I'll be there to help the best way I can! 

I was born and raised in North Carolina, I moved to Florida in 2020. I was basically born into the VetMed life, as my mother has been a Veterinary Technician for over 25 years, so I always knew I’d soon follow.  I have now been a technician for about 4 years and am grateful to be doing what I love which is caring for the fur babies. I am a dog mom to a little beagle named Sadie.
