Our Team

Ever since I can remember I wanted to be a veterinarian. My first career day in school my mom made me a medical kit and used index cards to make me business cards to hand out. I was lucky at 16 years old to start working at a small animal clinic in the kennel and worked my way up to veterinary technician. I attended Florida Atlantic University and received my degree in Ecology and Organismic Biology. I then attended Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and completed my clinic year at University of Florida. I worked as a general practitioner and completed my rehabilitation certification from the Canine Rehabilitation Institute in 2014.

After years of seeing senior and mobility challenged patients that could benefit from comprehensive care not provided in a traditional veterinary hospital the idea for Treasure Coast Animal Rehab developed. After opening TCAR during a pandemic it became apparent that senior pets play an important role in the family. With TCAR we are bridging the gap between general care and comprehensive senior and geriatric centered medicine. Having the ability to provide owners and pets with the skills and knowledge to keep their furry family member moving, pain free and happy is the goal I wake up with every morning.

I have worked with small animals as a technician/assistant since high school. Deeply compassionate about the human-animal bond, I love the rehabilitation process of seeing owners and patients through challenges and rewards alike. After a year with Dr. Amber and TCAR, I successfully completed Canine Rehabilitation Institute’s certification for Rehab Assistant (CCRA, 2023) and honed my skills with internship in S. Florida under guidance of an accomplished rehab nursing specialist. It is my privilege to be here with you and your pets- and every day my dedication to this field continues to grow.

Hi there! As a Florida native, my love for animals has been ingrained in me from a young age. My journey in the veterinary world began with volunteering at animal shelters, fueling my desire to make a positive impact on the lives of our furry companions. Over the years, I've gained invaluable experience working across various settings, from general practice to fast-paced emergency clinics. My favorite part about working in veterinary medicine is getting a chance to be the animals voice, and really advocating for them. What I love most about working at this hospital is the compassion the entire staff has for other people’s pets. I share my life with a lovable 6-year-old pit mix named Kahlua. When not tending to our adorable patients, you can find me exploring the beautiful landscapes of Florida, enjoying the great outdoors with Kahlua by my side.

​Growing up I have always loved being around animals, and knew one day I would want to work with them. During high school I would volunteer at the local animal shelter. I then started my career as a technician in General practice, and found my way to TCAR after my dog had a FHO surgery. I have a 3 year old Louisiana Catahoula leopard dog that is like my child. I enjoy spending my free time with my family, and friends.

If you ask anyone who knows me what my passion is, they’ll say animals. I truly believe that pets offer many of us the purest, goofiest, most loving relationship we can have. That passion has led me to over 10 years in the veterinary field.

Health issues with one of my dogs brought me to Treasure Coast Animal Rehab. I was fascinated from my first time through the door! Things have a way of working out and I joined the practice in July 2023.

My love for rehabilitation and senior pets continues to grow every day. I’ve completed my study in massage therapy and earned my certification as a Canine Myo-Manipulative Functional Therapist. As a member of the International Association of Animal Massage & Bodywork/Association of Canine Water Therapy (IAAMB/ACWT), I’m continually learning new skills. I love being able to provide this hands on therapy to help improve the quality of life for our furry friends.

Hi I’m Anna I was raised in Toledo, Ohio before going to boarding school in Melbourne. I started my work with animals at HALO No-kill rescue where I worked with both their cats and large dogs and took work home some days fostering dogs and cats with spinal issues. That’s were I met Dr.Amber was when some of the babies I took home needed rehab. Following that I worked at an exotic animal clinic getting experience working with our less so furry friends. Outside of work I’m owned by my 2 dogs, 3 cats, and crew of small exotic critters and spend my time with them. I’m super excited to finally be apart of the team.

I have always had a passion and love for animals. Especially those in need of help. Over the years I volunteered at animal shelters and worked at a general practice veterinary clinic. I ended up working at the Humane Society for several years which is where my interest in animal welfare, how we could make their lives better became a priority. That is where I first heard of TCAR and Dr. Amber. We had a dog that needed physical rehabilitation and Dr. Amber was able to drastically change his life for the better! The opportunity to be a part of this team is a dream come true! Seeing the difference we make everyday is amazing!! I am excited to be a part of you and your fur babies journeys!!
