Melinda

Melinda has been a Technician at AEC since moving to Michigan from Los Angeles, CA in 2011. She has been in the veterinary field since 2002 and attended the RVT program at Mt. San Antonio College where she enjoyed working with livestock as well as dogs & cats.

The first animal hospital where she worked gave her great experience with exotic animals, handling a wide variety of exotics from clients like Universal Studios Animal Shows & the Playboy Mansion. Prior to AEC, Melinda worked in the Critical Care Unit at one of Southern California's best 24 hour Emergency & Specialty Hospitals.

In her spare time, Melinda loves to go hiking & camping with her family & their dogs, "Barnaby" the Boston Terrier & "Jezebel" the Doberman Pinscher.
