Whiteney Michael
Veterinary Technician
Whitney has called the West coast home her whole life. She was born in San Francisco and came to the PNW for her undergraduate degree at the University of Washington where she majored in finance and marketing.
Growing up with animals of all kind she always loved them but never considered a career in the animal world until she met a couple in Thailand who did volunteer work spaying and neutering dogs and cats around the world. Now she has been in this field for 6 years and loves every minute of it. She even volunteers every year for a spay and neuter clinic in Mexico.
She has two critters of her own, a bull terrier named Dozer and a cat named Toast - an unlikely pair but they fast became friends. In her spare time Whitney loves to get outside and explore.
