salina

Salina is a California native who moved to Iowa shortly after graduating high school in 2014. She still resides in the Cedar Rapids area with her husband Reed, their 3 dogs (Cameron, Cain, & Farley), their 3 cats (Toad, Rex, & Bumper), and a few exotic pets including a boa named Peach and a tarantula named Betty.

Before deciding to pursue a career in veterinary medicine she was a previous student at the University of Iowa pursuing majors in journalism and photography. Her hobbies include photography, painting, hiking, traveling, and reading.

She has over 6 years of experience working in a veterinary clinic; and, even though she really loves dogs (especially giant breeds) cats are her favorite! Her work interests include laboratory sciences, canine behavior and training, and dentistry.
