Natalie was born and raised in California and has spent most of her life on the Central Coast as well as parts of Los Angeles. She got her start in animal medicine at a local animal emergency hospital, transitioned to managing an integrative general practice for a decade, most recently working at a local humane society managing their clinic.
She lives with her husband, young son, two mixed breed pups, and a revolving door of foster animals. Her love of animals and the humans that care for them has been her driving motivation to continue to grow and adapt to the needs of this community. With a goal of fostering well-being in the animal medical world and offering compassion and grace to all walks of life, she will continue to seek empathetic ways to support our industry and the amazing team that PETS has created.
When not at PETS, you can find Natalie and her family hiking the local trails, chasing a toddler through local hardware stores, gardening, and going "on adventures" as her son calls them, with our favorite haunts being Los Osos and Cambria.
