Michelle is a graduate from Bel-Rea Institute of Animal Technology and has been a certified technician for 11 years, 8 of which have involved managing. Her life- long love of animals and passion for helping others has led her to be a strong advocate for these amazing creatures. She loves to educate owners in the proper care of their beloved family members, so they may live long and happy lives. She strives to go above and beyond in order to help those in need and understands the bond between people and their pets can be strong and very important. Michelle is married and has two children (yes the two legged ones), as well as a malamute named Malachi, a boxer named Saphira, an Italian greyhound named Pieces, and two cats named Zeus and Spice. Michelle is a native to Colorado, and although enjoys the snow, she would much rather be waterskiing or tubing down a river. When not working, she enjoys biking, hiking with her dogs, and traveling with her family.
