Ashley
Veterinary Assistant
Ashley has lived and worked in the Tigard area for years. Her first job out of high school was a veterinary clinic, but after that, she bounced around trying out a lot of different career ideas – everything from managing a hotel, to selling cars! Eventually, she realized that she was meant to be in animal medicine all along, and she never looked back. She loves to spend her free time soaking up Oregon’s natural beauty on long hikes with her boyfriend, playing video games on her PS4, or cuddling up with her Siamese cat named Honker.”
