Heather B.
Veterinary Assistant
EVS Pet Urgent Care of Reno, NV
I was born and raised in Reno, NV, and have always had a deep love for animals. I started working with animals at a doggy day care, but realized that my real passion was with medicine and science. I love this field because it combines both of my passions, and I can use my knowledge and skills to help and advocate for those without a voice!
